The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a wide receiver after trading away Diontae Johnson, and a name that’s been linked to the team is former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd. Boyd grew up in Clairton, Pa., and attended Pitt, and given the Steelers’ need at the position and familiarity with Boyd from playing against him twice a year, he’s a name that seemed to make sense.
However, The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly reported that signing Boyd was a “longshot” due to money, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported yesterday on NFL Live that the Steelers have yet to make a “hard offer” to Boyd.
