On the first day of free agency this offseason, the Browns only made a few minor moves, such as a trade for Kenny Pickett, along with free agent deals for Maliek Collins, Cornelius Lucas, and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. Pickett was the odd man out in the quarterback room, while Collins and Lucas have played starting roles for the majority of the first two games. Tryon-Shoyinka, on the other hand, has played in just seven snaps with Cleveland. The Browns acted quickly to get Tryon-Shoyinka and handed him a one-year, $4.75 million contract with $4.19 million guaranteed. It was their smallest deal handed out of the three on the first day of free agency, but there was something about the former first-round pick that made them prioritize him. With Tampa Bay, Tryon-Shoyinka was a solid rotational piece in his second and third seasons, but he really struggled in his final year under contract. He put up a pass rush win rate of just 8.9 percent, which ranked in the bottom third out of pass rushers with at least 125 pass rush
