Vita Vea Stays with Bucs Through 2027 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Vita Vea just locked in a two-year extension through 2027, cementing his role as Tampa Bay’s defensive anchor and signaling the Bucs’ commitment to building around homegrown talent. A Pro Bowl standout and four-time captain, Vea’s elite run-stopping has been vital since 2019, helping lead the team to playoff runs, division titles, and a Super Bowl win. Drafted 12th overall in 2018, he’s now eighth in franchise sacks and played a career-high snap count last season. This move follows a trend of re-signing key Buccaneers — including Godwin, Winfield Jr., and Wirfs — reinforcing GM Jason Licht’s blueprint for sustained success.
