The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just made a significant move that could be a precursor of an even bigger transaction in the upcoming NFL free agency period.
He was selected by the Buccaneers in the first round in the 2018 NFL Draft and immediately signed a four-year deal worth $14.8 million.
The 27-year-old Vea is a crucial component of the Buccaneers’ defensive line that arguably had as much contribution to the team’s success as Tom Brady during the quarterback’s short-but-sweet stint in Tampa Bay.
