Vita Vea Staying in Tampa After Signing New Bucs Deal
Adam Schefter said the sides shifted from trade talks to an extension, with Vea set to earn $6 million in new money this season.
- On Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Vita Vea agreed to a one-year, $30 million extension, officially ending his trade request.
- Vea, 31, had requested a trade last month after his existing contract lacked guaranteed money and failed to reflect his market value among peers.
- The extension provides $6 million in new money for the 2026 season, securing Vea for two additional years with the franchise that originally drafted him.
- Interest from the San Francisco 49ers was dismissed by the agreement, as Buccaneers leadership never considered trading the star defender despite his request.
- Returning to the field, Vea plans to resume work with Tampa Bay to pursue another championship, continuing his eight-year career with the franchise.
