Falcons sign WR recently let go by Broncos; Bucs add ex-Denver DL

It didn’t take long for David Sills to land on his feet.

After having his practice squad contract with the Denver Broncos expire on Monday, the wide receiver signed a reserve/future contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

Sills (6-3, 211 pounds) spent the last two years on Denver’s practice squad. Before that, he spent time with the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants. Sills has 13 career receptions for 123 yards in 16 games, including three appearances with the Broncos during the 2023 season.

Elsewhere on the ex-Denver player front, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed defensive lineman Adam Gotsis to a reserve/future contract. Gotsis (6-4, 290 pounds) was picked by the Broncos in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft. He spent the first four years of his career in Denver before stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts.

Sills was one of three practice squad players who did not receive reserve/future deals from the Broncos at the end of the 2024 season, joined by tight end Donald Parham and offensive tackle Cam Fleming.

The Broncos did sign 14 other players to reserve/future contracts.

Players that are not on an active roster at the end of the season are eligible to sign reserve/future deals. After signing reserve contracts, players officially join the 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.
