Vita Vea, a two-time Pro Bowler for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has requested a trade as he seeks a new contract. Vea, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $71 million deal, has seen contract extension talks stall. His request comes as teams in the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers, look to bolster their defensive line. Although the Los Angeles Rams are rumored to be interested in defensive talent, Vea's move to Los Angeles seems unlikely. The Buccaneers may respond by extending his contract in the near future.
- •Vea has averaged six sacks per season over the last four years.
- •He played a key role in Tampa Bay's Super Bowl victory in 2020.
- •The 49ers may consider trading for Vea to strengthen their defensive line.
- •Tampa Bay might still extend Vea’s contract despite his trade request.
