Bears To Sign WR Scotty Miller

Miller previously booked a late-April visit to Detroit (via Schefter), but he is heading to one of its NFC North rivals over a week later. The Bears are the fourth team for the 28-year-old Miller, a 2019 sixth-round pick who has played for the Buccaneers (2019-22), Falcons (2023) and Steelers (2024-25). He has totaled 99 catches and six touchdowns over 93 games.

Miller’s most productive campaign came with Tampa Bay in 2020, a Super Bowl-winning season for the club. With quarterback Tom Brady at the helm, Miller set career highs in targets (53), receptions (33), yards (501) and TDs (three). The 5-foot-9, 174-pounder has not reached those heights since then. Miller put up just one 20-catch season over the past half-decade (with the Buccaneers in 2022), and he amassed fewer than 100 yards in both of his his years in Pittsburgh. He combined for just 14 catches in 26 games as a Steeler.

Miller’s deal with Chicago will lead to a reunion with Bears receivers coach Antwaan Randle El, who was a Buccaneers offensive assistant from 2019-20. He will attempt to earn a depth role in a receiving corps led by Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. The Bears, who said goodbye to D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus earlier in the offseason, have brought in Miller, Kalif Raymond and third-round pick Zavion Thomas over the past couple of months.
