Bucs LB Lavonte David can help Tampa Bay in one key area
Lavonte David has a decision to make and one way or another it can help the Bucs.
The Bucs had a lot of issues to address coming into the year, and free agency and the draft are the times to do that. General manager Jason Licht has shown he can craft his way into having a Super Bowl roster, but recent years have shown him sometimes getting into his own way at times. However, there is one move dwelling that he has no control over, which is rare for a general manager in the NFL.
Veteran linebacker Lavonte David is still up in the air as it relates to his decision to play a 15th season, or retire and prepare for his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. ESPN's Jenna Laine discussed the Bucs issues this offseason, and one of them is the linebacker position. However, David can make things easier on the team by returning.
She expands on it all, writing, "The Bucs signed only Anzalone, and SirVocea Dennis struggled in the open field last season. Lavonte David, their longest-tenured player, remains undecided on whether he'll play a 15th season. His skill set is a lot like Anzalone's, although Anzalone said his role hasn't been defined to him yet.
Will David return? " There continues to be no concrete update as it relates to David, but the team is still sitting and waiting with open arms. This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: NFL Offseason: Lavonte David can help Tampa Bay in one key area
