Lavonte David To Host Rare Press Conference
March 24th, 2026
Announcement likely this afternoon.
Joe understands how folks could put two-and-two together and come to the conclusion that the signing of veteran linebacker Christian Rozeboom meant the end of Lavonte David, the Bucs iconic linebacker.
(Joe typed that the Bucs needed three new inside linebackers, regardless of whether David retired or not.)
But today, the question very likely will be answered whether David has retired. David is holding a rare press conference at One Buc Palace this afternoon at 2 p.m., the Bucs announced this morning.
The fact that David’s press conference will be held in the Bucs’ auditorium suggests this may be a farewell. That’s only used for special occasions.
Will David announce he is done? Or will he tell the world he’s playing one more year? The latter does not sound like David. He’s a guy who normally shies away from the spotlight. Joe doesn’t believe David would want folks talking everywhere he goes, “This is the last (fill in the blank) for Lavonte David.”
Who really knows?
We will find out this afternoon.
