Who the Bucs have
Lavonte David, WLB (6-1, 233): Perhaps the best 4-3 linebacker in the NFL, and now in line for a lucrative extension as a would-be 2016 free agent.
Bruce Carter, MLB (6-2, 240): Free-agent signee from Dallas takes over from Mason Foster. Led all NFL linebackers with five interceptions in 2014.
Danny Lansanah, SLB (6-1, 255): Versatile linebacker had a breakout season in 2014, starting at all three LB spots and returning two INTs for touchdowns.
Orie Lemon, LB (6-1, 242): Signed off Chiefs' practice squad, he stepped up amid injuries with three starts, 23 tackles.
