2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tryon-Shoyinka went into 2023 with expectations that he'd finally deliver on his first-round draft pedigree, and he finished with career highs in tackles (45) and sacks (5.0) while also forcing and recovering a fumble apiece for the first time in his first three seasons. The 25-year-old actually played far fewer defensive snaps (556) than in 2022 (806). That makes last year's numbers more impressive in context, and he should be set for the highest workload of his career this fall due to offseason linebacker departures. Read Past Outlooks

Won't get option picked up
The Buccaneers informed Tryon-Shoyinka on Wednesday that they won't exercise the $13.25 million team option for 2025 on his rookie contract, Luke Easterling of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Tryon-Shoyinka is now set to become a free agent after the 2024 season, his fourth in the NFL. Though the Washington product has been a key rotational edge rusher through his first three NFL seasons, he hasn't performed at a high enough level to warrant a $13.25 million salary for 2025. However, he did post career highs with 45 combined tackles and five sacks last season, despite playing 250 fewer defensive snaps than he did in 2022.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Tryon-Shoyinka took a step forward in his sophomore 2022 campaign, posting a career-high 40 tackles and matching his rookie-season total of four sacks. The athletic linebacker also boosted his defensive snap total from 562 to 806 last year, and the valuable experience he gained with the additional reps should be beneficial as he approaches what could be a breakout in 2023. Tryon-Shoyinka has the benefit of working alongside the same group of talented linebackers - Lavonte David, Devin White and Shaquil Barrett - which may lead to his fair share of 1-on-1 matchups.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Critical season ahead
Tryon-Shoyinka is facing a critical season in 2024 after the Buccaneers declined to exercise his fifth-year option earlier this offseason, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There were high hopes for Tryon-Shoyinka after he was taken with the final pick of the first round out of Washington in the 2021 NFL Draft. Tryon-Shoyinka has recorded 114 tackles, including 13 sacks, over 51 regular-season games, but more was expected over the course of the 1,924 snaps he's played in that span. Tryon-Shoyinka now has some young noteworthy competition as well, considering second-year pro YaYa Diaby and rookie second-round pick Chris Braswell are both talented enough to officially render Tryon-Shoyinka expendable after this season.
