# Did Vita Vea request a trade from the Buccaneers?

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](https://chatffb.com/players/vita-vea)).

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](https://chatffb.com/teams/tampa-bay-buccaneers)).
