The Chicago Bears have officially added veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller to their 90-man roster, turning his tryout opportunity into a full-fledged signing.
Miller, 28, initially attended the Bears' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, hoping to impress the coaching staff enough to earn a spot. Mission accomplished. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team has agreed to terms with the speedy receiver, giving him a chance to compete for a role in Chicago's revamped offense.
This move adds depth to a Bears wide receiver room that's looking to build chemistry with their quarterback. Miller brings a blend of experience and big-play potential, having spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2025, he hauled in nine receptions for 62 yards, though his role was limited in a crowded Steelers passing attack.
For fans who remember his breakout moments, Miller's best season came in 2020 as a key contributor to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV championship run. That year, he posted career highs with 33 catches for 501 yards and three touchdowns, adding four postseason receptions for 80 yards and a score. His speed and route-running ability made him a reliable target for Tom Brady in critical situations.
Now in Chicago, Miller will look to recapture that form and provide veteran savvy to a young Bears roster. Whether he secures a final roster spot or adds depth on special teams, his signing signals the team is leaving no stone unturned as they build for the upcoming season.
