On paper, the Pittsburgh Steelers and veteran receiver Tyler Boyd seem like an ideal match in free agency.
Not only do the Steelers have a major need for a No. 2 receiver behind George Pickens, but there is the local product potentially returning home angle that is so enticing with Boyd.
But where things currently stand, the signing of Boyd by the Steelers is a “longshot,” according to The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly, in large part due to money.
In a piece for The Athletic Friday morning, Kaboly highlighted the Steelers’ unwillingness to pay more for Boyd’s services, which aligns with comments that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo made a few weeks ago regarding the financial hold-up in a potential Boyd signing.
