His contract was $800k.
Boyd averaged 47.6 YPG last year, his lowest since 2017.
Boyd made $10.1 mill this past season.
Here's reality - The Bengals would free up $9.8 mill if they move on from Boyd.
That can be repurposed to go toward a cheaper WR3 and the remainder go toward another position (or positions).
Like I said, I'm not hard pressed to move away from Boyd because he's a good player, but if that money would help land a really good player at another position and they can ultimately end up having a better team overall, I'm ok with making the move.
That is because Dallas doen't have a true WR2, but nonetheless...
I think Boyd's saving is 8.8M, and again, I don't disagree.
I can tell you that Tyler is expecting a very large raise after this coming season and I seriously doubt we are giving it to him....
