The Cleveland Browns signed Linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to a 1-year $4.75 million deal on Tuesday. He is coming off a solid season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had 24 total tackles and 2 sacks. Tryon-Shoyinka has been a contributor to the Buccaneers since being drafted No. 32 overall by the team in 2021. His time in Tampa Bay ended with 138 tackles, 15 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. How will Tryon-Shoyinka fare with the Cleveland Browns in 2025?
Cleveland Browns Offseason Outlook
Tryon-Shoyinka joins a Browns team that retained its best player. Cleveland signed Defensive End Myles Garrett to a massive contract extension a few days ago. Cleveland’s defense was mediocre last season. Tryon-Shoyinka will look to improve the unit next season.
Cleveland’s other offseason move was acquiring Quarterback Kenny Pickett from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. It is unclear what the team’s plans for Pickett are. The team still needs to find a long-term answer at the quarterback position with Deshaun Watson’s 2025 season in grave doubt. Cleveland could also draft a quarterback at No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Final Thoughts
Tryon-Shoyinka will look to continue growing with a Cleveland Browns team that will rely on its defense in 2025. With so much uncertainty on offense, Cleveland will need their defense to keep them in games.
