Yes, Vita Vea formally requested a trade from the Buccaneers on July 27, 2026, after months of failed contract extension negotiations with GM Jason Licht (from the Vita Vea page).
He's 31 years old and in the final year of his 4-year, $71M extension ($18M salary in 2026). He'd already been making noise — skipping all spring workouts and voluntary OTAs in protest. He reportedly wants to be traded to a California team or the Las Vegas Raiders, and his participation in training camp is uncertain pending resolution (from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers page).
