EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was released from Washington's practice squad Nov. 23, and he now joins the Steelers' practice squad. Willis has not played in an NFL game since the 2019 season, when he appeared in 10 contests with the Bengals, making nine catches on 16 targets for 82 yards.

Willis was released from Washington's practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was signed to the practice squad Oct. 5 but failed to crack the active roster at any point before his release Tuesday. Willis played in 10 games for the Bengals in 2020, catching nine passes for 82 yards. The 24-year-old's next opportunity will likely be another practice squad.

Washington signed Willis to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Willis spent training camp with the Giants and led them in receiving yards and touchdowns during the preseason. However, he was ultimately waived before the 53-man roster deadline. The 24-year-old last appeared in NFL regular-season action for the Bengals in 2019, when he played in 10 games and caught nine passes for 82 yards.

The Giants waived Willis on Tuesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Willis led the Giants in receiving yards (112) and touchdows (2) this preseason. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Darius Slayton (ankle) and Kadarius Toney (undisclosed) all dealing with injuries, it was thought that maybe Willis would earn a spot on the initial 53-man roster. Nonetheless, he will likely land on the Giants' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Willis signed a contract with the Giants on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Willis was waived by the Broncos just before the start of training camp, but he's now latched on with a new team. The 24-year-old hasn't seen game action since catching nine passes for 82 yards in 10 games with the Bengals in 2019.

Willis was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, George Stoia of the Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Willis signed with the club back in May but failed to make a training camp roster. The Broncos now have 14 wideouts on their roster. Willis, who hasn't played since 2019, will look to find a new home for the 2021 season.

Willis signed a contract with the Broncos on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a bit odd to see the Broncos sign a free agent wide receiver after recently releasing 2018 fourth-round pick DaeSean Hamilton (knee), but Willis likely is meant to just provide some depth at the position. The 23-year-old had stints, respectively, with the Browns and Jaguars practice squad last season, but hasn't played in a game since 2019.

Willis signed with Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, James Johnson of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old has yet to catch on with an NFL team in 2020 after making 10 appearances for the Bengals last season. Dede Westbrook (knee-ACL) remains on IR while Laviska Shenault recently sustained a thumb injury, prompting Jacksonville to add development depth at the position.
