The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an agreement that keeps Vita Vea in Tampa Bay for two more seasons.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle agreed to a one-year extension. The extension is worth $30 million, with Vea receiving $6 million in new money this season.
The agreement comes after contract discussions between Vea’s agent, Collin Roberts of @excelfootball, and Tampa Bay intensified Tuesday night. Those negotiations ultimately resulted in Wednesday’s agreement.
Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter,
“ESPN sources: Two-time Pro-Bowl DT Vita Vea and the Buccaneers reached agreement today on a one-year extension for $30 million, tying him to Tampa Bay for two more seasons. He gets $6 million in new money this season. Talks between Vea’s agent Collin Roberts of @excelfootball and the Buccaneers heated up Tuesday night and resulted in the agreement today.”
The agreement keeps Vea in Tampa Bay for two more seasons. It also gives both sides a resolution after contract talks intensified this week.
Via Fox Sports Greg Auman,
“To clarify: Bucs are giving Vita Vea a $6 million raise this year, so instead of one year and $18 million, it’s $24 million and also paying him $24 million for 2027. It’s now two years and $48 million, all fully guaranteed, for their defensive anchor.”
