Vita Vea landing spots: Eight possible destinations for Buccaneers DT after trade request
Veteran defensive tackle Vita Vea’s trade request puts the Buccaneers on the losing side and fuels West Coast speculation.
Where it stands
Vita Vea is looking to exit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, putting the team at risk of losing a veteran defensive tackle and giving any buyer an established interior pass rusher. CBS Sports said he asked for a trade after contract extension talks fell through, and ESPN listed five NFL clubs as possible fits.
Niners Wire quoted a former NFL linebacker who believes a Vea move could thrust the 49ers into Super Bowl contention, yet details on trade value and timing remain unsettled.
