Eagles sign former first-round edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to a 1-year deal

The Eagles are signing Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to a one-year deal, Howie Roseman confirmed Sunday at the NFL owners meetings.

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is 26 years old, was the 32nd overall pick out of Washington in the 2021 draft, and has not come close to living up to that billing in his NFL career. The Eagles are betting he has something left.

The resume is what it is. Fifteen sacks in 82 career games over four seasons in Tampa followed by a split between the Bears and Browns last year after getting traded to Chicago in November.

He did not record a single sack in 2025. His production fell off a cliff after a modest start to his career and he hit free agency as a former first-round pick that nobody was particularly excited about.

That is exactly the profile Roseman targets when he is bargain hunting on the edge.

The Eagles already added Arnold Ebiketie this offseason to go alongside Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith. Adding Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is another low-risk high-upside swing at a position where the Eagles need more depth after losing Jaelan Phillips to a three-year deal with Carolina at $30 million per season.

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is 6-foot-5 and 259 pounds with first-round athleticism that was real enough for Tampa to take him in the bottom of the first round five years ago. The production has not been there but the tools have not disappeared.

As we all know, Howie Roseman has done this before and occasionally it works. One year. Low cost. If Joe Tryon-Shoyinka rediscovers anything close to his draft-day ceiling the Eagles get a steal. If he does not it costs almost nothing.

That’s the bet.
