The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have many difficult questions to answer this offseason before they prepare for the 2025 season. One that no one wants to think about is, “Will Joe Tryon-Shoyinka be back in Tampa Bay for 2025?”
The idea of losing Joe Tryon-Shoyinka does not seem like a big one, but it should be for a Bucs team looking for a consistent pass rush.
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka will be 26 when the next season kicks off in September. The 2024 season was arguably the worst of his career, with him seeing career lows in sacks (2) and tackles (18). The team was desperate for consistent play from their edge rusher,s but they never got it. Tryon-Shoyinka was given chances time and again, and he never was able to capitalize.
This brings us to the question: What will his next contract be, and should the Bucs pay it?
Over the Cap speculates that as of February 6, Tryon-Shoyinka is going to earn a smidge more than he did in 2024. They project his next contract value to be $2.3 million, a raise compared to his 2024 rate of $2.1
The Bucs are projected to have just $11 million dollars, before any adjustments, in their salary cap this offseason. The emergence of Yaya Diaby, as well as expected plans to draft more edge help, may have Tryon-Shoyinka on the out despite the potential value.
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka’s time may be done in Tampa Bay after just four seasons.
