The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are giving Vita Vea a $30 million contract extension, and NFL fans cannot agree on whether it was the correct decision.
Despite being a Super Bowl champion and one of the best interior defenders in the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were paying Vita Vea much less than what someone with his resume can ask for.
The defensive tackle was set to earn $17 million in 2026, which was an unacceptable outcome to him. As such, it looked like he might leave the Bucs and had even requested a trade in July.
However, the Bucs have instead agreed to a contract extension with Vea, one which will lock him in with the team for the next two seasons and give him $6 million extra in this season as well.
