Being placed on the reserve\/retired list in the NFL means a player has chosen to retire before their contract expires.<\/p>\n

The move removes Tryon-Shoyinka from the Eagles’ 90-man roster and the team will hold onto his rights in the event he decides to one day come out of retirement and return to the league.<\/p>\n

The 6-5, 260-pound Tryon-Shoyinka played three seasons of college football<\/a> for the Washington Huskies.<\/p>\n

As a redshirt freshman, he played in 12 games with 20 tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack. Tryon-Shoyinka made 41 tackles with 12.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks in his redshirt sophomore season and was named second-team All-Pac-12 Conference.<\/p>\n

The outside linebacker was the Bucs’ first draft pick after the team won the Super Bowl<\/a> with Tom Brady<\/a> and Rob Gronkowski<\/a> in February 2021.<\/p>\n

Tryon-Shoyinka signed with the Eagles on March 30 this year. <\/p>\n

However, he didn’t appear for the media-attended spring practices and wasn\u2019t there for the two-day mandatory minicamp. <\/p>\n

Now, he’s decided to retire having never played a snap for the Eagles, ending his career with 160 tackles, 15 sacks and two forced fumbles in 82 games and 45 starts.<\/p>\n
