Cincinnati — The Steelers are interested in former Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, although he is still a free agent.
Boyd, a Pittsburgh native, played the first eight seasons of his career in Cincinnati. It appears like money is the only thing delaying a possible homecoming.
“They’re trying to wait out Tyler Boyd,” Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette explained on 93.7 The Fan. “I’m not sure how that will play out here. I know he wants to get paid more than what they are offering him.
Combine that with reports that there are mixed sentiments inside the Steelers organisation about signing the 29-year-old, and Boyd’s future remains uncertain.
Boyd has 6,000 receiving yards, which ranks eighth all-time for the Bengals. The Steelers traded Diontae Johnson to the Panthers but signed Van Jefferson as a free agent. Boyd would provide another proven wideout for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Boyd is now a free agent for the first time in his career. The Bengals are not likely to re-sign him. The 29-year-old might also join the Raiders or Chiefs.
