Bucs ILBs Lavonte David and Devin White – Photo by: Cliff Welch/PR Bucs inside linebacker Lavonte David just turned 34, but is coming off one of his best years since entering the league in 2012. David came in at No. 39 on Pro Football Focus’ list of free agents in 2024. PFF projects David signing a one-year deal worth $5 million this offseason. Tampa Bay, which has interest in re-signing David, signed the veteran linebacker to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million in base salary for the 2023 season, but he also cashed in on a performance bonus worth an additional $2.5 million this year. Pro Football Focus has Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield as the 75th-ranked free agent in 2024, which comes as a surprise. Mayfield is also the third-ranked QB on the list behind Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins, who ranks second overall, and Tennessee’s Ryan Tannehill, who ranks 68th on the overall free agent list. PFF projects Cousins to be signed to a two-year deal worth $30 million per year in free agency, yet has the oft-injured Tannehill only slated to make $5.5 million per year over two years. Mayfield is projected to sign a three-year deal worth $75 million with $40 million out of the $75 million guaranteed. The fact that Mayfield is rated behind Tannehill lacks logic and doesn’t make sense, especially considering that Tannehill had a 68.7 grade per PFF and Mayfield had a PFF grade of 75.9. Mayfield, 28, also started every game this season and performed at a much higher level than the 35-year old Tannehill, who only started 10 games this year. Mayfield is even rated behind Bucs linebacker Devin White, who is the No. 73-rated free agent. White, who had a poor and inconsistent contract year, is projected to get a one-year deal worth $7 million.
