Overview

  • He said at his Clairton youth camp that the majority of his family could support him if he joined the Steelers.
  • The Steelers’ receiver group remains thin after trading George Pickens, leaving a vacancy at WR2 alongside DK Metcalf.
  • Across eight NFL seasons Boyd has recorded 552 catches, 6,390 yards and 31 touchdowns, including back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns.
  • The 30-year-old free agent said he believes he has a few more years left in the league and that offers may rise once training camps begin.
  • He previously negotiated terms with Pittsburgh last offseason but did not reach an agreement.
