David signed a one-year contract to rejoin the Buccaneers for the third straight offseason. While that is indicative of the fact that he's on the back end of his career - he's entering his age-35 season - his surface-level production suggests otherwise as he topped 120 tackles for the third consecutive campaign. Unfortunately, the analysis moving forward isn't that simple. Per PFF, David missed tackles at a 15.5 percent clip in 2024, the highest mark of his career and more than double any number he's posted since 2021. His work in coverage - previously a strength - also slipped, as he allowed 9.4 yards per target and a 106.4 passer rating against. That would be a cause for concern, but the Buccaneers have done little to build in a backup plan for David this offseason. Another season of 100+ tackles is probably in the cards, but David appears to finally be slowing down.
