The Tennessee Titans Make Offseason Splash with Signing of Tyler Boyd
The Tennessee Titans have made a significant move in free agency, signing wide receiver Tyler Boyd to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million. Boyd, who previously played under new Titans head coach Brian Callahan with the Cincinnati Bengals, reunites with Callahan in Nashville.
Boyd is expected to add depth to the Titans’ receiving corps, serving as the primary slot receiver alongside star wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley. Callahan utilized three-receiver sets on 81% of snaps last season, and the Titans are expected to increase their usage of this formation in 2024.
With the addition of Boyd, the Titans won’t have to rely on young players like Treylon Burks and Kyle Philips for a breakout season. Boyd’s contract is considered a great value for the Titans, with incentives included in the deal and a base salary likely lower than $4.5 million.
Titans general manager Ran Carthon is receiving praise for his negotiating skills, as Boyd’s contract is worth less than that of D.J. Chark, who signed with the Los Angeles Chargers for $5 million. This move is seen as a strategic move by the Titans to bolster their offense and provide quarterback Kyler Murray with another reliable target in the passing game.
Overall, the addition of Tyler Boyd has generated excitement among Titans fans, who are eager to see how he will contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season. Stay tuned to Matzav Blog for more updates on the Titans and other NFL news.
