Why it matters: The endorsement follows the organization agreeing to a one-year, $30 million extension with defensive lineman Vita Vea, which resolves his hold-in and includes $6 million in new money for the 2026 season.

What to watch: Tampa Bay proceeds through its 2026 preseason schedule with its defensive interior secured.
