<p>Wide receiver Scotty Miller, the Barrington High School graduate who won a Super Bowl as a member of the 2020 Buccaneers, is trying out with the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears" target="_blank" >Bears</a> during their rookie minicamp this weekend.</p><p>Miller, who turns 29 on July 31, seemingly has an opportunity — Kalif Raymond is the only proven receiver the Bears added to team with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. Miller has more than 11 catches in a season only once in the past five seasons, though. He caught nine balls for 62 yards in 13 games with the Steelers last year.</p><p>He spent his first four seasons with the Bucs, followed by one with the Falcons and two with the Steelers.

<p>The <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears" target="_blank" >Bears</a> agreed to sign veteran wide receiver <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/05/08/bears-scotty-miller-wide-receiver-super-bowl-champ-barrington-high-alum-tryout-rookie-minicamp-nfl" >Scotty Miller</a> on Saturday, agent Drew Rosenhaus said. Miller was with them this weekend for a tryout during rookie minicamp.</p><p>The deal likely means Miller will be with the team throughout the offseason as he fights for a roster spot before the roster cut-down deadline in August. He'll be competing against players like Jahdae Walker and Maurice Alexander at wide receiver.</p><p>Miller, 28, played at Barrington High School, and the Buccaneers drafted him in the sixth round out of Bowling Green in 2019.
