One of the most attractive free agents on the market with the opening of the signing period on March 17 will be Lavonte David. The Buccaneers’ fast and intelligent defender has many contenders for his prominent role in helping Tampa Bay win the Super Bowl LV.
And according to a report by Mary Kay Cabot from cleveland.com, the Cleveland Browns will be one of the teams following David. Cabot notes that sources told him that the Browns will have an interest in David as the team’s top target in the free agency.
David will not come cheap. The 31-year-old has recorded at least 100 tackles in eight of his nine NFL seasons, all in Tampa Bay. David had 117 attacks, one INT, one sack, three forced candies, 12 loss attacks and six PDs in 2020
However, there is a robust market for free agents at the linebacker. The Browns did not prioritize spending on position under GM Andrew Berry. But by adding speed and versatility to the position, a major need out of season, perhaps David will attract serious interest from the Browns.
