Lavonte David's 2 PM press conference fuels retirement speculation

The Buccaneers said Lavonte David will hold a 2:00 p.m. ET press conference at the AdventHealth Training Center with no contract news yet, fueling retirement speculation as the 36-year-old, coming off a knee-injury-plagued season, weighs future plans after re-signing on a one-year, $9 million deal last year. David is a franchise icon who helped win Super Bowl LV and tie the Bucs’ all-time tackle record; Tampa Bay has already signed two veteran linebackers, Alex Anzalone and Christian Rozeboom, and may draft more to get younger and more athletic at the position.
