Where I saw it is admittedly not credible but that figure makes sense at least as a starting point.


He’s definitely not in 3 years/21M territory and i think he’s also not at 1 year deal status just yet. 2 years seems right but i thought he get closer to 12-14M. If Pittsburg is only offering 10M i don’t see why we wouldn’t match that unless we have completely moved on and trust Charlie Jones.


Boyd fell off a tad last year but still had great hands and routes.


If the asking price is 10M over 2 years i don’t see how that deal screws us. I mean damn cut Nick Scott and that’s 4M right there. Give up on Jackson Carman and boom. That’s your 5M for Boyd right there.


From Boyd’s standpoint no way I’m going to Pittsburg for 5M over Cincinnati for 5M.

What's Boyd's standpoint? Being able to move home would be a pretty big factor to me. I'm not sure how you can speak for his standpoint. Maybe he values moving home than playing for a better contender, at least on paper. Everyone has different motivations. I saw the same report, and it actually stated that Boyd wants to be in Pittsburgh. Again, not taking it as the gospel but...
