Steelers Competing With Two Teams for Tyler Boyd

The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a push for the Bengals wide receiver.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have interest in signing former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, bringing the University of Pittsburgh star back to his hometown. But to do so, they have to out-match two AFC teams who are also pushing to land a deal. 

According to The Athletic's Mark Kaboly, the Steelers' biggest hurdle in signing Boyd are the Kansas City Chiefs, with the New York Jets sneaking in as a dark horse candidate.

Boyd has mentioned in the past that he'd like to finish his career in Pittsburgh, where he grew up. But with the Super Bowl champions making a push, it's understandable that he may be looking to win a ring before heading back home. 

As for the Jets, Aaron Rodgers is probably the most impactful name making that push. With Russell Wilson on the roster, maybe the Steelers can overturn any excitement Boyd has to play with a proven veteran, but it may still be a lost race when it's all said and done. 

The Steelers will look to add a veteran wideout either way. With Diontae Johnson headed to the Carolina Panthers, the team is left with George Pickens and Calvin Austin. They'll want to add a free agent and likely a higher member of the NFL Draft class to round out their wide receiver room this season.
