JUST IN: Cardinals Gain Offensive Edge in Titans Deal
The Arizona Cardinals have a solid one-two punch at wide receiver, but it wouldn’t hurt to add another experienced option at the position ahead of the trade deadline. Luckily, the Tennessee Titans might be able to offer some.
The Cardinals are well stocked on the outside with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, giving Kyler Murray two strong options to throw to on top of tight end Trey McBride.
But Arizona could use an upgrade in the slot as it sits at 4-4 and in first place in the NFC West through eight gamers. Cole Thompson of Texans Wire is predicting that Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort, who has a connection to the Titans, will strike a deal with Tennessee for veteran wide receiver Tyler Boyd.
Tennessee is having a pitiful season, with the team sitting at 1-6 and in last place in the AFC South despite spending a ton of money to beef up the roster during the offseason. Boyd was one of many additions the Titans made.
It would definitely make sense for the Titans to trade the 29-year-old wide receiver, as he’s on a one-year deal and isn’t likely to factor into Tennessee’s long-term plans. Chances are the Titans will be seeking a late Day 3 pick in exchange.
Boyd would be a fantastic addition for the Cardinals, as not only would he come cheap, he would be an experienced solution for an upgrade in the slot, where Boyd does his best work.
Boyd has a proven history of production with four 800-yard campaigns under his belt, including two 1,000-yard seasons. He only has 184 receiving yards through seven games in 2024, but that has everything to do with the dysfunctional mess that the Titans have been on offense.
