What happened: Vea characterized his trade request as part of the business after agreeing to a one-year extension. The deal is worth $30 million.

Why it matters: The agreement keeps a cornerstone defender in place for the upcoming season and ends immediate trade uncertainty. It also resolves a contract standoff that stretched into the preseason.

By the numbers: One year, $30 million; $6 million in new money for 2026.

What to watch: Vea's preseason workload and return to team drills are the next markers before Week 1.
