Tampa Bay Buccaneers Veteran Will Test Free Agency Market

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have experienced tremendous success in recent seasons with Tom Brady at Quarterback, but now that he has officially announced his retirement, they are preparing to retool or potentially even rebuild for the future.

The team have already moved on from two veterans in Donovan Smith and Leonard Fournette, and now it appears they won't be making a push to sign linebacker Lavonte David, who is reportedly ready to test the free agent market. 

Long-time great #Bucs LB Lavonte David, coming off one of his most productive seasons, is expected to test the free agent market, source said. A return to Tampa Bay has not been ruled out, but given their cap situation, it will be challenging.

David was a second round pick of the Buccaneers way back in 2012, and has been with the team through ups and downs ever since, and with plenty left in his legs, he should be one of the most coveted linebackers in free agency.
