Chiefs signing WR seems to give Steelers a better shot at landing Tyler Boyd

The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be out of the running to sign free agent WR Tyler Boyd

Three teams were reportedly in the mix to sign coveted Cincinnati Bengals free agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd: the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs.

On Thursday, the Chiefs signed WR Marquise Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million, effectively eliminating them from the running for Boyd.

The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly reported on Wednesday that Boyd and the Steelers have a “mutual interest.” Now there’s one less team competing for the veteran’s services.

Omar Khan has been quiet since the low-key signing of safety DeShon Elliott and internal re-signings. Hopefully that means he’s working his magic to bring Boyd back home to Pittsburgh.
