Arkansas Bengal Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Chris Roling Fri, Jan 19, 2024 at 4:27 PM CST·1 min read 1 Before he heads to NFL free agency, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd was announced as a member of the WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2024. A massive honor for the former Clairton football and Pittsburgh Panthers star, Boyd fielded many questions about his career recently during events related to the nomination. One of those centered on the future. While Boyd had nothing but good things to say about a Bengals organization that took a risk on him, he also gave an expected answer when asked what he thought about possibly joining the Pittsburgh Stealers in free agency. “You never know,” Boyd told Dominic Campbell of Pittsburgh Sports Now. “I love Coach Tomlin. He’s probably one of the realest dudes in the sport’s business. Obviously, I played at Pitt, and I had a lot of run-ins with him and talked to him just about football. His personality is more like a father figure, it’s a great connection, but who knows? Even if I don’t go after this year, I could do a one-year deal at the end of my career and maybe finish up, but who knows.” ADVERTISEMENT The entire interview is very much worth a read, but Boyd leaving the Bengals to go home is something fans have speculated for a while now. There, he’d play the Bengals twice a year while forming a trio with George Pickens and Diontae Johnson. Given the hometown connection, the Stealers have to be considered one of the likeliest landing spots for Boyd if he and the Bengals don’t find a way to work something out while the major contracts go to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I really despise reporters. Toss a red meat question—one which is a certainty to be a positive answer—and then make a mountain of fake shit controversy. What’s the guy supposed to say: no I hate my home area, and the city I played college football in? Or I want Mike Tomlin dead, so I can run over his carcass with my car? How many times did he repeat “who knows?”. Fuck the media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Pure speculation. But if it would happen let him drop balls at critical times for them (still like the guy a lot though... wish him well no matter where he ends up except in the division 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Well, for teams out of the playoffs, it IS rumor and speculation season. That said, could see Tyler going somewhere like Pitt. He's very QB-friendly, and the Stealers haven't exactly had a reliable set of WRs of late - Claypool, Diontae Johnson, Pickens, etc. Tyler does a lot of things right... he's where he's supposed to be, he's catches the ball (SB, and last year a few bad drops notwithstanding), he's tough, he blocks, he plays hurt, he's smart. Would be a great mentor for other WRs and help a young/inexperienced QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Boyd also talked about maybe getting to win a SB one day. He's not doing that in Pittsburgh. I hate to say this but I would not be totally shocked to see him end up in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Wonder if he ends up with Von in Carolina? They were asking us about Tee, maybe they settle on Boyd since Tee is going to get the tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
