According to Mike Kaboly, the largest “hurdle” for the Steelers landing free-agent WR Tyler Boyd is the Chiefs also being interested with the Jets considered a “dark horse” contender as well.
Kaboly reported yesterday that Pittsburgh and Boyd had “mutual interest” in a potential deal.
Kaboly adds that the parties have spoken about him possibly returning to Pittsburgh. However, nothing is considered imminent at this time.

The Bengals re-signed Boyd to a four-year, $43 million extension back in 2019.
In 2023, Tyler Boyd appeared in all 17 games for the Bengals and caught 67 passes for 667 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
