Browns Logical Landing Spot for $43 Million WR With 31 Career TDs
The Cleveland Browns recently traded for a wide receiver and have added one in each of the past three NFL drafts, but the time may have come for the franchise to try its hand in free agency.
David Kenyon of Bleacher Report on Sunday, April 28, listed Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tyler Boyd as among the “10 best NFL free agents” still unsigned as of the conclusion of this weekend’s draft.
If the Cincinnati Bengals had unlimited financial resources, they probably wouldn’t want Tyler Boyd to leave. However, the 29-year-old receiver may be eyeing one final long-term contract, and the Bengals have less than $14 million in available cap space.
While Boyd’s production has dipped in recent years, that’s largely because he’s splitting targets with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Boyd’s catch rate has remained near 70 percent in every season since 2020. Any legitimate playoff hopeful with a bit of cap space — and one that didn’t use an early-round pick on a wideout — should be calling Boyd.
