Tyler Boyd Open to Joining Steelers in Free Agency: 'I Love Coach Tomlin'

The 29-year-old has spent the first eight years of his career in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI — Tyler Boyd is scheduled to become a free agent for the first time in his career this offseason. If he doesn't re-sign with the Bengals could he return to Pittsburgh and join his hometown Steelers? 

“You never know,” Boyd told 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."

Boyd is not only from Pittsburgh, but he went to the University of Pittsburgh. He was drafted by the Bengals in the second round (53rd overall) in 2016. He has 513 career catches for 6,000 yards and 31 touchdowns. 

Boyd is open to returning to the Bengals, but there's certainly a chance he signs elsewhere this offseason.
