NFC West team aims for Vita Vea amid trade request from Bucs
Summary

Vita Vea has requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as he enters the final season of his four-year contract. The defensive tackle reportedly wants to return to California, with the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders as potential destinations. The Rams have recently bolstered their defensive line by acquiring Myles Garrett and could see Vea as a strong addition, especially if Aaron Donald returns from retirement. General manager Les Snead may need to restructure the salary cap to accommodate Vea's contract. A full interview with Vea discussing his contract situation is expected to be released soon.
