According to sources, Buccaneer Icon Lavonte David’s wife, Tondrea Monique, served as a Realtor at Realty ONE Group MVP.
Recently, Lavonte David announced his retirement after 14 NFL seasons, all with the Buccaneers.
He finishes his career with the same number of seasons played and total tackles (1,714) as Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Brooks.
Following the announcement, the Glazer family, owners of the Buccaneers, said,
“For the past 14 seasons, Lavonte David has personified what it means to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. He was a selfless leader both on and off the field, playing with passion and a genuine love for the game. He leaves a legacy as a Super Bowl champion and one of the greatest players in franchise history, setting a standard that will continue to impact our organization for years to come,” “Today, we celebrate Lavonte’s legendary career as one of the most accomplished players of his era and thank him for the many memorable moments he provided our fans. Beyond the statistics and accolades, he will be remembered throughout Tampa Bay for his humble demeanor and strong commitment to our community. We wish him well on his journey after football and look forward to honoring his Hall of Fame-worthy achievements in the near future.”
David came to the Buccaneers as a second-round draft pick in 2012, after the Buccaneers traded up 10 spots to secure the University of Nebraska star.
He blossomed into full NFL stardom in his second season, earning first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors on the strength of 145 tackles, five interceptions, 7.0 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 10 passes defensed, and two forced fumbles.
Moreover, Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles said,
“Before I came to the Buccaneers, I always had immense respect for Lavonte as a special football player,” “Having had the fortune to coach him for the last seven seasons, I have also experienced the special person and leader he is. He has been the heart and soul of our defense and a Super Bowl champion on the way to being an eventual Hall of Famer. There isn’t anyone more respected by his teammates, and that respect extends to his peers and opposing coaches throughout the league. I, as well as everyone in this organization, will miss him tremendously.”
David was a rock in the Buccaneers’ locker room during his entire career, the type of quiet leader who didn’t speak often but always commanded the room when he did.
He was voted a team captain in just his third season and repeated that honor, as chosen by his teammates, for a remarkable 12 straight campaigns.
Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht said,
“Lavonte’s mark on our franchise could never be overstated,” “For the entirety of his 14-year career, Lavonte set the standard for professionalism, leadership, and consistency. He embodies everything that it means to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer and he is undoubtedly one of the best players to ever put on this uniform. His contributions to our franchise, to his teammates and to this community will leave an impact far beyond his playing years.”
Overall, he was the team’s all-time leader in fumble recoveries and ranks sixth in sacks, the most by any non-defensive lineman or edge rusher.

She had good energy in the room, just me, her sister, my sister, her mom and then a mid-wife and a doula. She came a week and five days early so baby Logan was ready to come out. My wife did a great job. She was in labor for basically 12 hours. It was amazing. She was a real trooper, so my hat is off to her for sure. A wonderful feeling.”
