Lavonte David discusses pending free agency

There’s been a lot of talk over the past few days about Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ superstar and long time face of the defense Lavonte David and what his future holds.

For those that may have missed it, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network said on Wednesday that sometimes there just “isn’t enough money to go around” and that he expected David to leave as a free agent with plenty of teams ready to stand in line - the Cleveland Browns being at the front of it - to vie for David’s services.

Then on Thursday, Garafolo walked that statement back a little bit saying yes, there will be plenty of teams trying to get David to join their team if he reaches free agency but that the Buccaneers are still trying to hammer something out and ensure that the captain returns back to the only franchise he’s known for his nine NFL seasons.
