Steelers enhance wide receivers with D.K. Metcalf trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to strengthen their offense this offseason after a disappointing wild-card playoff exit last year. They ended the season with a 10-7 record and were eliminated by the Baltimore Ravens. With three out of four quarterbacks entering free agency, the Steelers face uncertainty at that position. Justin Fields has signed with the New York Jets, leaving Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson as the only quarterbacks on the roster. They may still add a veteran or a rookie this offseason. The Steelers have already traded for wide receiver D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks to enhance their receiving corps. They are also considering adding Tyler Boyd, a free agent wide receiver. Boyd is 30 years old and previously played at the University of Pittsburgh, earning All-ACC honors during his college career. Selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2016 NFL Draft, Boyd has had a successful career. Over eight seasons, he caught 513 passes for 6,000 yards and scored 31 touchdowns. Last season, he played for the Tennessee Titans, catching 39 passes for 390 yards. Adding Boyd would give the Steelers an impressive trio of receivers, along with Metcalf and George Pickens. His experience could provide valuable support to whoever is playing quarterback next season, whether it's Rudolph, Aaron Rodgers, or a rookie from the upcoming draft. Boyd's projected annual cost is about $2.16 million, which could make him an appealing option.
