Bucs Sign David Sills to Fill Mike Evans' Shoes

0:00On April 7, Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their big-bodied wide receiver Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving a Gavin size of top. Evans stands 6'5", 230 pounds, and guys like Chris Godwin, Ameca Egbuca, and Jalen McMillan just don't match that frame. So on Tuesday, the buck signed David Sills the 5th from the Atlanta Falcons to bulk up the room. He's 6'3", 211 pounds. Sills stuck around the NFC South after playing all 17 games for Atlanta last year, starting 4 and pulling in 191 yards, with two touchdowns. The Bucks also grabbed defensive tackle, Rakeem Nunez roaches, but Sills fits the bill as a potential ex-receiver to stretch the field. Fans might remember Sills from that Thursday night football beat down in December, where he torched Tampa for 78 of those yards, including A. Clutch grab on 4th and 14 to seal the Falcons win. Now head coach Todd Bowles has him on his own sideline.

1:00What makes this click is the new offensive coordinator, Zach Robinson, who ran Atlanta's offense in 2024 and 2025. He saw Sills up close and knows exactly how to use that frame. It's early, so no telling if Sills locks down a roster spot or carves out real snaps heading into 2026, but this move plugs a clear hole, and keeps the receiver group deep and versatile.
