BREAKING: San Francisco 49ers Showing Interest in Prolific Wide Receiver Ahead of NFL Draft – REPORT – 2024 Offseason.
The San Francisco 49ers are not resting on their laurels after making the Super Bowl last season. Despite housing one of the most well-rounded rosters in the NFL, San Francisco is showing interest in a longtime NFL wide receiver weeks before the start of the 2024 NFL draft. According to The Athletic, the 49ers are eying former Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tyler Boyd in free agency.
The NFC West club is not the only one attracted to Boyd’s services. According to reports, the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Detroit Lions, among others, are also interested in Boyd. The Chiefs could become the front runners for Boyd after standout rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice got into legal trouble over the weekend.
Tyler Boyd: Looking to Join New Team
Boyd, the 55th pick in the 2016 NFL draft, has spent his eight-year professional career with the Cincinnati Bengals. After mainly playing a reserve role during his first two seasons, he snagged 76 passes for 1,028 yards and seven scores in 2018. He posted career numbers the following year, registering 90 receptions for 1,046 yards and five scores. The Pittsburgh product tallied at least 58 receptions and 760 receiving yards each season from 2020 to 2022.
However, Boyd took a step back in 2023, playing behind fellow wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Boyd finished last season with 67 receptions but only 667 yards and two scores. His best game of the 2023 campaign came against the Houston Texans in Week 10, when he snagged eight passes for 117 yards.
