The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued to do a bit of pre-draft roster enhancement on Tuesday, signing wide receiver David Sills to a one-year contract. Sills is the third addition to the Buccaneers' roster this week, following the signings of offensive tackle Justin Skule on Monday and defensive lineman Rakeem Nuñez-Roches, also on Tuesday.
Sills (6-3, 211) most recently played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, appearing in all 17 games with four starts and recording a career-high 18 receptions for 191 yards and two touchdowns. He is the first addition this offseason to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, which has seen Mike Evans depart for the San Francisco 49ers and Sterling Shepard remain a free agent.
Sills, who converted from quarterback to wide receiver in college and saw most of his collegiate playing time at West Virginia, first entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills in 2019. He ended up on the New York Giants' practice squad as a rookie and earned a late-season promotion to the active roster, then sustained a foot fracture in training camp that put him on injured reserve for the 2020 season.
In 2021 and 2022, Sills saw action in 13 games with six starts for the Giants, catching 13 passes for 123 yards. He spent most of the next two seasons on the Denver Broncos' practice squad, getting into one regular season game in 2023. He signed a reserve/futures contract with the Falcons in January of 2025. Sills' most productive game of the 2025 campaign was in a one-point win over the Buccaneers in Tampa, in which he caught six passes for 78 yards.
