Tyler Boyd remains one of the top players available on the free-agent market, and at least two AFC teams reportedly have interest in the veteran wide receiver.
Boyd met with the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this week and has a visit scheduled with the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Now that the NFL Draft has come and gone, Fowler expects the market for Boyd to “heat up.”

While he is not viewed as a No. 1 wideout, Boyd was a productive player over eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He had 67 catches for 667 yards and two touchdowns last season despite Joe Burrow missing nearly half of the year with an injury. Boyd had back-to-back seasons with 1,000-plus yards in 2018 and 2019.
The Titans already have DeAndre Hopkins and signed Calvin Ridley this offseason. Boyd would be a great No. 3 option in their passing game.
The Chargers let Mike Williams leave in free agency this offseason and traded Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears. They then surprised a lot of people by not drafting a wide receiver until the seventh round, so they certainly have room for a veteran like Boyd.
