Vita was entering the final season of a four-year, $71 million
contract. His new deal reportedly is worth $48 million over the
next two seasons.
“Vita is exactly the type of player and person we want to build
around in Tampa Bay,” Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht
said. “He has been a dominant force in the middle of our
defense, an exceptional teammate, and a tremendous leader in our
locker room.
"One of the keys to our recent success has been our ability to
draft, develop and re-sign core, foundational players who set
the standard for what it means to be a Buccaneer. As one of our
team leaders, Vita has played a big role in establishing that
winning culture, and we are excited to have him continuing to
help lead the way as we pursue our next championship.”
Vea has 256 tackles, including 48 for loss, 79 quarterback hits,
35 sacks, nine passes defensed, three forced fumbles and three
fumble recoveries in eight seasons.
