Antonio Brown recognizes the strength of the roster

The Steelers not only added some great players to their unit. But they also acquired them far more cheaply than they could’ve hoped for! Quality additions such as Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are practically free for the Steelers. The Denver Broncos will cover Wilson’s salary and so they could acquire him at a low cost of 1.35 million .

Similarly Fields arrived with a trade of the Steelers conditional sixth-round pick of the NFL 2025 Draft. With these incoming forces, previous QB1 Kenny Pickett has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. In this trade, the Steelers gained one third-round pick for this year’s Draft and two seventh-round draft picks for the 2025 NFL Draft.

However, amongst these offensive players, Brown focuses on the trade of LB Patrick Queen as well. Signed on as a free agent by the Steelers on a $41-million contract over three years. But will his ask be answered with the arrival of WR Tyler Boyd?

The Tyler Boyd situation

The Cincinnati Bengals were unable to lockdown Boyd as his contract expired. The 29-year-old is now a free agent and has been linked to several suitors, including the Bengals’ arch-rivals, the Steelers. However, nothing has materialized yet and there are several moving parts.

Per reports, the reigning Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs are also interested in the tall WR. Along with the New York Jets! Only time will tell whether Brown will get his wishes of securing Boyd for the Steelers. But which team will Tyler Boyd move to for the upcoming season? Only time will tell whether Brown’s wish will come true or not.
