· Yahoo Sports
The Las Vegas Raiders have been at the center of trade rumors all offseason, but it has mostly been in regard to their players that they could trade away. However, now they’re linked to a possible big-time addition.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been dealing with a contract dispute with star defensive tackle Vita Vea. He’s on an expiring deal and wants an extension before the season.
The Buccaneers haven’t given him one, which led to him requesting a trade before the start of training camp, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Vea is 31, so he’s likely on the backend of his athletic prime, but he’s still an impact player.
He started all 17 games for Tampa Bay last season and had 4.5 sacks. He has been as dependable as any defensive tackle in the NFL. That said, he is getting older, so giving him a huge contract extension is somewhat risky.
He has now forced the Buccaneers’ hand and will either get a new contract or get traded. According to The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen, Vea has some teams in mind. The former Pro Bowler would like to get traded to either the Raiders or one of the teams in California, which includes the Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.
