\t\t\t\u201cHe\u2019s Been In The Building Doing Some Rehab\u201d

Lavonte David news.<\/p>\n

Does this smell like the move of a player ready to retire?<\/p>\n

Guess what Lavonte David has been doing during some of his winter vacation. He\u2019s been at One Buc Palace.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind David is known for spending his offseasons in his hometown of Miami.<\/p>\n

The news came from Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht himself, speaking yesterday on WDAE radio<\/a> (shortly before Mike Evans\u2019 oily agent embarrassed himself<\/a>).\u00a0Licht said he doesn\u2019t know what David is thinking right now regarding a decision to play in 2026. However, Licht said, \u201cI know he\u2019s been in the building doing some rehab.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why would David be doing \u201crehab\u201d with the Bucs if he isn\u2019t leaning toward playing next season?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like David had a major injury and he is a pending free agent. Perhaps David had offseason surgery, a cleanup on his knee? Joe is speculating, but man, Joe is very curious as to David\u2019s motivation to be at team headquarters.<\/p>\n

David might want the Bucs to watch him train \u2014 to see how strong and responsive his body is in hopes of scoring a bigger contract offer.<\/p>\n

The David situation is getting interesting. Bucs officials plan to meet with David\u2019s representative(s) this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe\u2019s Been In The Building Doing Some Rehab\u201d February 25th, 2026 Lavonte David news.
