BEREA, Ohio — Just a few hours before the NFL trade deadline, the Cleveland Browns made a move, sending defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to the Chicago Bears in exchange for draft capital, league sources confirmed to News 5.
In the trade, the Browns will receive a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Bears while sending Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick to Chicago.
The Bears were in need of a pass rusher after losing defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to a season-ending Achilles injury on Sunday, and Tryon-Shoyinka was an expendable player for Cleveland.
Tryon-Shoyinka signed with the Browns in March as a free agent after four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, inking a one-year, $4.75 million deal with Cleveland.
However, Tryon-Shoyinka hadn't played much for the Browns through the first eight games of the season, only playing in 31 total snaps on defense and 59 special teams snaps. Tryon-Shoyinka notched nine total tackles and a QB hit in that time.
Now, the Browns move up from a seventh-round pick to a sixth-round pick in next year's draft.
The NFL trade window closes at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
