Eagles Place Joe Tryon-Shoyinka On Reserve/Retired List, Ending His NFL Career

The transaction preserves Philadelphia’s rights if he returns and creates an immediate roster opening that shifts reps in the team’s crowded edge group.

Overview

  • The Eagles announced on Tuesday that they moved Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to the reserve/retired list, a roster designation that marks his retirement while keeping the team’s rights if he decides to unretire.
  • Tryon-Shoyinka signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia in late March but did not attend the team’s mandatory minicamp, making him the only veteran absent before the roster move.
  • The reserve/retired designation removes him from the Eagles’ 90-man roster but does not transfer his contract in a way that immediately frees typical cap obligations; the team retains his rights if he returns.
  • A former No. 32 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Tryon-Shoyinka finished a five-season career with roughly 160 tackles, 15 sacks and two forced fumbles across 82 games and 45 starts after stops with Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Chicago.
  • Philadelphia quickly adjusted its edge depth after the decision by adding veteran A.J. Epenesa and giving more opportunities to young players and rookies, a move that could affect summer reps and final roster spots.
