On April 2nd, Tampa Bay Buccaneer's linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. just dropped his retirement news at age 30. He wrapped up a solid NFL run across the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and Miami Dolphins before landing with the Bucks last season for just two games at the end. Earlier this offseason, the Bucks signed him to compete at Inside Linebacker, but a knee-injury sideline to him through training camp. They released him with a non-football injury tag, expecting a practice squad return. Instead, he joined the Colts squad until Tampa called him back in. December, Walker only saw one defensive snap and 14 special teams plays in those final games, so his exit isn't shaking up the Bucks roster much. Fans and teammates knew he wasn't long-term, especially after Lavante David's big retirement. He shouted out the Buccaneers in his statement, and shared a cool hometown Miami-bound with David, who mentored him, both hanging up cleats in the same, offseason after Bucks' spints. Now Tampa's hunting for Inside Linebacker helped next to new guy, Alex Anzalone, eyeing

free agents in the draft to shore up that linebacker room before. Next season hits? Football News, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
