Bills reportedly among teams pursuing Vita Vea from Tampa Bay

Teams including the Bills, Bears and 49ers have checked on Vita Vea as Tampa Bay says it is not trading the veteran tackle.

  • On Friday, NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo reported that multiple teams have contacted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers about trading defensive tackle Vita Vea.
  • Vea requested a trade on July 27 after contract extension talks stalled, reportedly dissatisfied entering the final year of his deal paying around $18 million while top market contracts reach $38 million.
  • The veteran defender generated 51 total pressures and 39 hurries last season with a 72.8 PFF grade, yet has not been practicing and was seen without his team jersey, signaling his desire for a move.
  • While the Buccaneers maintain internally they are not trading the defender, his agent Collin Roberts stated, 'I just don't see it ending in anything but a trade,' highlighting the impasse.
  • Vea reportedly prefers the Raiders or a California-based organization, where he could fit the team's culture as teams evaluate whether to pursue the veteran's proven production.
