Buccaneers’ Vita Vea ends contract standoff with $30 million extension
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up to make another run at the NFC South title after letting the crown slip away in 2025, but they had one more loose end to tie up during training camp. Star defensive tackle Vita Vea was not practicing while he waited for either a new contract or a trade, and now he has what he wants.
On Wednesday, Vea signed a one-year, $30 million contract extension with the Bucs that gives him $6 million in new money this season and will keep him in Tampa Bay through the 2027 season, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
After negotiations had not gone anywhere between the two sides during the offseason, Vea requested a trade during camp. However, Tampa Bay was reluctant to deal him, and now the two sides have a deal that will settle the situation for now.
This story will be updated.
