Linebacker Lavonte David is returning to his longtime team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million, his agent, Ron Butler, told ESPN om Friday.
The deal includes $9 million guaranteed.
David had been noncommittal on a return at the end of the season, and the Bucs afforded him the time to weigh his options.
He chose to return to the team for his 14th season. He's been a team captain for 11 consecutive seasons.
