Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea is sticking around with the team after signing a one-year extension.
“Vita is exactly the type of player and person we want to build around in Tampa Bay,” said General Manager Jason Licht. “He has been a dominant force in the middle of our defense, an exceptional teammate, and a tremendous leader in our locker room. One of the keys to our recent success has been our ability to draft, develop and re-sign core, foundational players who set the standard
for what it means to be a Buccaneer. As one of our team leaders, Vita has played a big role in establishing that winning culture, and we are excited to have him continuing to help lead the way as we pursue our next championship.”
