The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed linebacker Lavonte David to a five-year extension deal, FOX Sports 1's Peter Schrager reported.
The deal comes with $25.5 million in guarantees and the average per year is just north of $10 million, according to Schrager.
David, who was a second-round pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, has been one of the brightest, young linebackers in the game.
