ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter stated on The Pat McAfee Show that a trade involving Vita Vea remains a possibility. Vea, entering the final year of his contract, has requested a trade amid stalled extension talks.

Vea's presence is critical to the team's defense, commanding double teams and enabling better opportunities for teammates.

For now, the Buccaneers continue their preparations for the upcoming season with Vea on the roster.
