Steelers should consider signing newly released Buccaneers wide receiver - Steelers Wire
The Pittsburgh Steelers would be wise to pursue a wide receiver who was just released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Tuesday, the Buccaneers released massive 6-foot-3 wide receiver David Sills V, a 30-year-old veteran with 36 games of NFL experience who would be an excellent depth option for Pittsburgh's concerning wide receiver room.
Sills, who began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills (2019), also played for the New York Giants (2019-2022), Denver Broncos (2023-2024), and Atlanta Falcons (2025) before joining the Buccaneers in 2026.
Hills suffered a hamstring injury in training camp with the Bucs and was placed on injured reserve in August. After missing Tampa Bay's first six games of the season, he was activated off IR on October 22.
During his eight-year NFL career, Sills has recorded modest receiving stats, recording just 314 yards and two touchdowns. Still, Sills would offer the Steelers another big-bodied receiver who could serve as a viable depth piece and potential mismatch against opposing cornerbacks as needed.
