Vita Vea trade to Chargers appears likely amid ongoing contract discussions
Summary

Vita Vea's agent stated that a trade from the Buccaneers is increasingly probable as the defensive tackle continues to hold in during training camp. Vea, who is looking for a move to a California team or the Raiders, is not participating in practice while awaiting resolution. This situation stems from a trade request made earlier in training camp, and Vea's potential arrival in Los Angeles could significantly enhance the Chargers' defensive line, which struggled in the previous season. The Chargers finished last in the NFL for interior pressures in 2025, making Vea a valuable asset if acquired.
