Vita Vea skipped offseason work amid stalled extension talks; holdout risk looms.
Vea is entering the ninth season of his NFL career, all with the Buccaneers, and the final of his four-year, $71 million contract; extension negotiations are unlikely to be worked out soon. A two-time Pro Bowler who stuffs the run and provides pass rush up the gut, Vea did not participate in offseason practices, including mandatory minicamp, due to his contract situation. Vea's deal might have been impacted by Jeffery Simmons' recent extension with the Tennessee Titans, a three-year, $105.8 million signing that reset the market for interior defensive linemen. At $17.75 million per season, Vea is 19th in APY among interior linemen. For a franchise that lost celebrated mainstays Mike Evans and Lavonte David this offseason, the 31-year-old Vea is one of the club's remaining pillars. Holdout or hold-in risk exists heading into training camp if the Buccaneers remain in no hurry to finalize an extension.
