Former UW Football First Round Edge Signs With Philadelphia Eagles
After splitting time last season with the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns, former Huskies edge Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has signed with the Eagles.
Former Washington Huskies edge rusher and first-round pick Joe Tryon-Shoyinka signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, general manager Howie Roseman announced Sunday. Tryon-Shoyinka, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, split time last season playing eight games for the Cleveland Browns before being traded to the Chicago Bears and playing his final eight games for first-year coach Ben Johnson.
Over his four seasons with the Buccaneers, the 6-foot-5, 259-pound Renton, Washington native registered 15 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in 66 games (45 starts) before the team declined his fifth-year option last offseason, which made Tryon-Shoyinka an unrestricted free agent. We've agreed to terms on a one-year deal with OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. @Toyota | #FlyEaglesFly pic.

His eight games with the Browns ended with two fewer total tackles to his name, and no sacks in a season for the first time in his brief NFL career.
Tryon-Shoyinka joins an Eagles edge rusher room that includes third-year pass-rusher Jalyx Hunt, who led the team with 6. 5 sacks in 2025, and 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith Jr. , who finished last year with 3 sacks.
