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.

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.

Additional details
  • During his eight-year NFL career, Sills has recorded modest receiving stats, recording just 314 yards and two touchdowns.
  • 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.
