JUST IN: 29-years-old Talented star might not sign new contract until after 2024 NFL Draft
The reason for the slow free agent market is that most of the top players have already found new teams, and many teams are waiting to see the outcome of the 2024 NFL Draft before making any further additions.
Teams typically evaluate their roster and address any needs before and after the draft, often adding more free agents after the draft to complete the roster. Veteran wide receiver Tyler Boyd, who has spent eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, remains unsigned, indicating that he may be waiting for the right.
At this point, it seems possible — even likely — that Boyd won’t ink a new deal until after the draft, when teams could look to solidify their receiver room with an experienced veteran. In fact, Boyd was recently listed as a player who should wait until after the draft to sign.
Tyler Boyd, primarily utilized as a slot wide receiver, is not expected to secure a high-value contract.
However, he may attract attention from playoff-caliber teams seeking an inside receiver for three-receiver formations.
While Boyd’s market may be smaller compared to more renowned players like Odell Beckham Jr., his consistent availability and production make him a reliable option post-draft. Aged 29, Boyd remains a viable player and has reportedly garnered interest from multiple teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, and San Francisco 49ers. The final destination for Boyd will be intriguing to observe.
