After the season concluded, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd talked about potentially joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency.
That stemmed from a question during a local event near Pittsburgh, but it’s not unrealistic. And neither are other possible landing spots — such as the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles.
So says Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger, who suggests those two teams as possible landing spots for Boyd:
Boyd brings in a sure-handed slot receiver that Jalen Hurts can get the ball out to quickly, not always having to buy himself time waiting for a downfield route to develop, which was certainly not always his fault. Nick Sirianni’s Colts roots have historically prioritized a slot that can catch passes underneath and run block, for example bringing Zach Pascal along with him from Indianapolis. Boyd obviously offers much more as a pass-catcher as well.
There’s always an outside chance Boyd and the Bengals agree on a reunion, of course, though with Ja’Marr Chase eligible for an extension and Tee Higgins likely getting the franchise tag at a minimum, he’s a third in the conversation right now.
On paper, the Titans make the most sense due to needing an every-down safety valve for Will Levis, especially with former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan now the head coach there.
