Vita Vea trade request puts 49ers, Chargers, Rams and Raiders on alert

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea has reportedly compiled a short list of preferred trade destinations, potentially putting the Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders on alert. Analyst Ted Nguyen said, citing a source, that Vea wants a move to a California team or the Raiders. The Chargers are highlighted by 2025 interior pass-rush stats: Los Angeles ranked 28th with only 41 interior pressures (8.30%), while Vea produced 44 pressures alone, plus 4.5 sacks and a 9.19% pressure rate. The 49ers are second, aided by league-leading cap space and Vea’s Milpitas, California, ties.
