🚨 QB Lavonte David's Pro Bowl Fantasy Falls as Buccaneers' 'Power Play' Under Fire!

Lavonte David is ultimately going to retire with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The only question is when. Although David is a free agent, the 36-year-old has already confirmed that he will either come back to the Bucs for a 15th season or retire.

If David does come back, it would almost certainly be on a one-year deal, which would be the fourth straight time he’s done that with the Bucs. After being drafted in 2012 (second round, 58th overall pick), David played the first three years of his rookie contract, then signed his first extension (five years, $50. 25 million) in August 2015 before his deal expired.

David’s next extension came in 2021, when he signed a two-year, $25 million deal, with $20 million guaranteed. After playing out that deal, David signed one year deals for three seasons in a row. Bucs Roundtable will take a look at where each of the Buccaneers' 2025 free agents stands going into this year's cycle.

Our series has featured  offensive lineman Charlie Heck ,  linebacker Haason Reddick   cornerback Kindle Vildor  and  punter Riley Dixon. The series will also include players who were on the Bucs before 2025 that the team decided to re-sign, such as receiver Chris Godwin  and now David. DAVID’S 2025 SEASON David ended last season with 114 tackles, which was his lowest total since 2021.
