Fowler: Titans Signing Steelers WR Target Tyler Boyd
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver target Tyler Boyd is signing with the Tennessee Titans, meaning their WR target becomes murkier.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tyler Boyd deal could have been reignited now that the NFL Draft is over. But with Roman Wilson filling the slot role, which would be redundant with Boyd, it seemed more and more unlikely. And on Tuesday, https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1787887859338277274″>Jeremy
Fowler of ESPN reported that Boyd is signing with the Titans on a one-year deal that is worth up to $4.5 million.

Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan reported early in April that the Steelers offered Boyd a two-year contract in the range of $10 million.
That was slightly below most estimates of Boyd’s value. Spotrac projected Boyd will sign a three-year contract worth $26.1 million, or an average annual value of $8.7 million. Instead, he got just about half of that value for being a slot receiver who is about to turn 30 years old.
Mark Kaboly reported last month that the “ship has sailed” between Boyd and the Steelers. And he reiterated that on 93.7 the Fan two weeks ago.
“I don’t think so man. I think they are waiting now; I think sometime after the draft, these free agents don’t count toward the compensatory picks. I can see him going someplace like Kansas City because, obviously, they need a wide receiver right now with [Rashee] Rice up in the air. Unless something crazy happens, which I don’t think will, I don’t think Boyd’s coming here,” Kaboly said.
