Buccaneers Icon Lavonte David Retires After 14-Season Career

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David has announced his retirement following a storied 14-year career. A 12-time captain and Super Bowl champion, David departs as the No. 7 leading tackler in NFL history and the league leader in tackles since his debut. His retirement, alongside the departure of Mike Evans, marks the end of an era for the Buccaneers, as the franchise now faces the challenge of forging a new identity without two of its most iconic players.
