Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently expressed his thoughts on the Cincinnati Bengals swiping Orlando Brown Jr. from the Chiefs in free agency.
Now Bengals wideout Tyler Boyd has added a little proverbial fuel to the fire, too.
After making his practice debut with the team during these workout sessions, Boyd met with the media and didn’t hold back when asked about Brown coming to Cincinnati.
“I mean I loved it because, you know, we have a nice little rivalry with the Chiefs. To see him (Brown) come over, it’s like, ‘Yeah, we one-upped yall,’” Boyd said, according to Cleveland.com’s Mohammad Ahmad. “At the end of the day, he’s (Brown) a great player. We’re here to win. He’s probably one of the best at his position. Adding him to what we got already is going to allow Joe (Burrow) to have more time to give us the will to put up more p1oints.”
The Brown-to-Bengals move is indeed an interesting development in the rivalry between the two teams.
With that move, the Bengals get a massive upgrade with a top-ranked tackle on the left side and could see Jonah Williams possibly upgrade the right side. The Chiefs had to make other moves to compensate for the loss, including signing Jawan Taylor to a big contract.
Given that Brown’s presence will help Joe Burrow get the ball out better to his weapons, it’s no wonder Boyd was happy to see the news.
