Breaking News: ESPN reports that the Tennessee Titans have officially signed a top-tier wide receiver from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a $189 million, five-year contract. However…

The Titans are slated to host a veteran receiver on a free-agent visit

The Tennessee Titans are scheduled to host free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd on a visit. It was reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, who claims Boyd recently visited the Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans could be in the market for a veteran slot receiver.

Boyd spent the previous five seasons (2019-23) playing in Brian Callahan’s offense with the Cincinnati Bengals. Boyd accumulated 361 receptions for 4.144 yards and 21 touchdowns across those five seasons. In Boyd’s first season playing under Callahan, he recorded a single-season career-high 1,046 yards. It was Boyd’s second consecutive 1,000 yard showing. There’s obviously a lot of familiarity between Boyd and Callahan.

Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins will start on the boundary for the Titans in 2024. The slot position is currently up for grabs, with the likes of Kyle Philips, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Mason Kinsey said to be in contention. To date, Treylon Burks has not been mentioned as an option at that position.

The Titans also didn’t draft a receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft until the sixth round. Jha’Quan Jackson projects as a receiver that can occasionally play in the slot, but the former Tulane standout may not be an every-down player at that position. Jackson will make a bigger impact on special teams.

The aging Boyd isn’t in his prime anymore, but he’s still a veteran starting-caliber receiver. Given Boyd’s familiarity with Callahan’s scheme, he projects as an upgrade in a pass-happy offense with Will Levis at the helm. Boyd would be a quality signing.
