The veteran playmaker for the Cincinnati Bengals has to be re-signed.
With all of the uncertainty surrounding the off-season, Cincinnati needs to take one action: Tyler Boyd should be resigned.
In Cincinnati, a number of significant decisions will need to be taken. The wide receiver room could end up drastically different or remain the same for a another season. When it comes to re-signing negotiations, Ja’Marr Chase will get his money, Tee Higgins will probably be named, but the third member of the triumvirate has remained anonymous. It is time for the Cincinnati Bengals to re-sign Tyler Boyd.
Over the past eight years, Boyd has more than any other player come to represent what it means to be a Cincinnati Bengal. Boyd, who went undrafted out of Pitt in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, hasn’t missed a play in that entire period. Playing with all-time Bengals greats like A.J. Green, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase, he has shown leadership in the receiver room.
Boyd endured some of the worst seasons the Bengals have had since the start of the Marvin Lewis era. The Bengals were about as uninspired as they could be, going 19-28-1 in his first three years in Cincinnati. But the team signed him to a $43 million, four-year extension this year because they understood how important he was. When Zac Taylor arrived that same year, he made sure that Green was facing his best receiver. In retrospect, Green’s performance declined since he missed the entire 2019 campaign. 2019 would have been considerably worse without Boyd than the 2–15 place they barely made it to.
