What happened: Mike Garafolo reported that Chicago and San Francisco also contacted Tampa Bay about the defensive tackle's availability. Vea requested a trade after extension talks stalled, but a deal is not imminent.

Why it matters: Buffalo must account for Phidarian Mathis' suspension at the start of the regular season. Vea is entering the final year of his contract, keeping the contract standoff central to any potential move.

What to watch: Watch whether renewed contract talks change Tampa Bay's position or Buffalo pursues another interior option.
