LAKE FOREST, Ill. - The Chicago Bears made a move to shore up their pass rush Tuesday ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

What we know:

According to multiple reports, they’ve made a trade with the Cleveland Browns.

According to Fox Sports and ESPN, the Bears have acquired Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026-seventh round pick from the Browns. 

In exchange, the Bears have sent a 2026 sixth-round pick.

Tryon-Shoyinka was the No. 32 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bears are in need of a pass rusher after Dayo Odeyingbo tore his Achilles during Sunday’s win over the Bengals.

Tryon-Shoyinka is a short-term addition for the Bears. On March 12, 2025, he agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns on a one-year, $4.75 million contract that expires after the 2025 season.

What moves could the Bears make ahead of the NFL trade deadline?

FOX 32's Lou Canellis weighs in on the Chicago Bears' options before the NFL trade deadline hits this afternoon.

By the numbers:

Tryon-Shoyinka has recorded nine tackles so far in the 2025 season. 

He has 15 career sacks across four and a half seasons in the league. His best season came in 2024, when he recorded five sacks for Tampa Bay. 

What's next:

The NFL trade deadline goes into effect at 3 p.m. CT. It's already has been a wild deadline day, as the Jets have traded All-Pro players Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams to the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys, according to their respective teams.

Time will tell if the Bears make any other moves.

The Bears will host the New York Giants at noon on Sunday.
