<\/p>\nThe Dallas Cowboys could be in the market to replace some departed pass rushers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a trade proposed by Bleacher Report\u2019s Alex Ballentine, the Cowboys could benefit from a \u201csplash\u201d deal that sees them trade a 2024 fifth-round draft pick (No. 174 overall) in exchange for Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. Ballentine argues that Tryon-Shoyinka could fill a major void \u2014 and be a bargain option \u2014 after Dallas allowed both Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler Jr. to leave in free agency<\/p>\n
\u201cAs it happens, the Cowboys have a big need on the edge and Tryon comes with an affordable $2.2 million salary,\u201d writes Ballentine. \u201cWith Dorance Amstrong and Dante Fowler Jr. leaving, the Cowboys with 716 snaps to replace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why Cowboys Could Benefit From Joe Tryon-Shoyinka Trade<\/strong> He\u2019s racked up nine sacks and 95 tackles while appearing in 75% of the defensive snaps in 2022 and 51% of the defensive snaps in 2023.<\/p>\n The advanced analytics paint a more positive picture of the 23-year-old\u2019s play. According to Pro Football Focus, Tryon-Shoyinka posted a 65.5 defensive grade and 69.0 pass-rushing grade last season, both above average marks. In fact, of all of the Cowboys\u2019 current linebackers \u2014 with the exception of newcomer Eric Kendricks \u2014 not a single one had a higher number than Tryon-Shoykinka\u2019s pass-rushing grade.<\/p>\n Ballentine explains why the Cowboys would benefit from a trade for a veteran pass rusher rather than just select a rookie with a fifth-round pick.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can find another edge defender in the draft, but it\u2019s going to be hard to find one ready to contribute with the fifth-round pick they\u2019d be sending to Tampa,\u201d writes Ballentine. \u201cThey can go to free agency but there aren\u2019t many 24 year old with the potential to find a new level of production on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n Ballentine further details why the potential move would make sense for both sides.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the Bucs, this would be a chance to move on and get something in return for a player that they benched last season,\u201d writes Ballentine. \u201cFor the Cowboys, it\u2019s an opportunity to take a relatively low-cost risk on a high-potential player.\u201d<\/p>\n Joe-Tryon Shoyinka Could Be Versatile Player for Cowboys<\/strong> Via JoeBucsFan:<\/p>\n \u201cJoe\u2019s a very unique player,\u201d said Bowles. \u201cHe\u2019s not going to be the go-around-the-corner Shaq [Barrett] type of guy. Joe can move all across the line of scrimmage and help us with a lot of things. He\u2019s out linebacker. He\u2019s our defensive end. He\u2019s our 3-tech. He\u2019s our part-time nickel. He\u2019s our part-time inside linebacker. He can come from a lot of areas so he has a lot of jobs. And he\u2019s one of those chess pieces that I talked about. So he\u2019s a different type of rusher. He\u2019s very athletic.\u201d<\/p>\n Considering the Cowboys have been very prudent from a financial perspective when it comes to their acquisitions this offseason, acquiring Tryon-Shoyinka \u2014 who has a $2.2 million base salary in what is likely the final year of his rookie deal \u2014 would be a low-cost, high-reward move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Dallas Cowboys could be in the market to replace some departed pass rushers.

\nThe cost of acquiring of Tryon-Shoyinka \u2014 a former first-round draft pick \u2014 would be low considering his underwhelming production over the first three seasons of his career. The Buccaneers selected the University of Washington product with the 32nd pick in the 2021 NFL draft and he has yet to make a significant impact despite starting over the past two seasons for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s worth noting that the 6-foot-5 pass rusher may have the ability to play multiple spots \u2014 something the Cowboys would certainly welcome. The Cowboys converted Markquese Bell from being a safety into a starting linebacker. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles recently gushed over Tryon-Shoyinka\u2019s versatility.<\/p>\n
