He is not slowing down; he ran a 4.6 out of Pitt. He is a big-bodied large-catching-radius receiver who has been one of the most dependable targets in the passing game. Right now he's the only WR not on his first contract.
And he could play WR2 if the Bengal had someone else to play slot.
My guess is that he gets 9-11 per year somewhere else, but maybe the Bengals don't want to lose two starters from the WR room; Losing 2 starters at once went so well for them in 2023.
This was always about using Boyd's value 2 years ago to obtain a high end olineman and a potential 2nd round pick. I still think we would have been better off with those 2 than Boyd last year & this season.
