Vea asks out after extension talks stall

He is due $18 million in the final year of his deal

Why it matters: A move would force Tampa Bay to replace a central interior defender before the 2026 season. An acquiring club would inherit the final year of his contract.

By the numbers: Vea recorded 40 quarterback pressures, 4.5 sacks and 21 run stops in 2025. He played 248 run-defense snaps and earned a top-12 pass-rush grade among interior defenders.

What to watch: His training-camp participation and Tampa Bay's response to trade inquiries will show whether the request becomes an actual move.
