Buffalo Bills Among Teams To Have 'Checked On' Trade Availability of 2-Time Pro Bowler

The Buffalo Bills are among the teams reported to have “checked on” Tampa Bay Buccaneers nose tackle Vita Vea’s trade availability amid ongoing contract uncertainty. Vea, a two-time Pro Bowler and nine-year veteran, sat out the Buccaneers’ opening preseason game and has not been practicing as he enters the final year of his extension, reportedly upset with the situation. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said Vea is seeking a trade and that talks have stalled. Garafolo also reported that the top of the defensive tackle market is now about $38 million, while Vea makes just under $18 million annually. He cited that the Bills, along with the Bears, 49ers and others, have asked Tampa about trading Vea.
