Should the Jaguars Trade For Vita Vea?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea has requested a trade after contract-extension talks stalled, according to the report. The 6-foot-4, 347-pound, 31-year-old has spent his entire eight-season career in Florida and is entering the final year of a deal paying $17.75 million per year. With 18 other interior defensive tackles now paid more than that figure, Vea sought an extension after a “hold-in” during mandatory minicamp in June. Market benchmarks shifted when Jeffery Simmons signed a three-year, $105.8 million extension with Tennessee. The question now: should the Jacksonville Jaguars—fresh off the league’s top run defense—push for Vea despite salary-cap concerns?
