The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will keep linebacker Lavonte David, 35, around for a 14th season as he agreed to a one-year $10 million deal on Friday.

David’s agent Ron Butler told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and celebrated the news on social media. The fifth-longest tenured player in the league with the same team, David has helped the Buccaneers go from cellar dwellers to playoff contenders in his career.
