One player each NFL team can’t let hit free agency in 2021
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: OLB Lavonte David
He’s gotten his share of acclaim at times, earning All-Pro honors in 2013 and a Pro Bowl invitation in ‘15. In eight NFL seasons, linebacker Lavonte David has played and started in 121 regular-season contests. He’s finished with 100-plus tackles seven times, notched 22.5 sacks and 25 takeaways, returning three of those miscues for scores.
Tennessee Titans: TE Jonnu Smith
A third-round draft choice from Florida International in 2017, 6’3”, 248-pount tight end Jonnu Smith came into his own this past season and most notably when quarterback Ryan Tannehill became the Titans’ starter. He finished ‘19 with 35 catches, good for 439 yards and three scores and added another touchdown grab in the playoffs.
Washington Redskins: OLB Ryan Anderson
It’s a big year for the 2017 second-round pick from the University of Alabama. Outside linebacker Ryan Anderson played in 16 games and made four starts, both career bests – as were his 44 tackles and four sacks. On defense, he also finished with four forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries. How will he fit in Jack Del Rio’s scheme?
