Alex Anzalone opens up about his decision to join the Bucs
Alex Anzalone talked about what went into him becoming a Bucs in a recent interview.
The Bucs' linebacker group is going to look a little different in 2025. After enjoying the presence of Lavonte David for 14 seasons, the unit and team as a whole will be looking at new leadership in the middle of the defense. One of the candidates who could step up and make the transition much smoother is the newly signed Alex Anzalone.
The former Detroit Lions linebacker joins the Bucs after signing in free agency, and expectations are already high. He recently talked about what went into the decision with Jim Rome. He mentions he came down to Tampa Bay from Detroit for a multitude of reasons.
For him, it came down to nothing financial, but rather a move that he felt was best for his entire family. "Yeah, honestly, it was a situation that was kind of different from some others. I was a free agent a couple of times in my career, and you know, it was a little different.
You know, I can make the decision, not just off of the finances. I'm blessed enough to be able to make the right decision for my family. .
