said General Manager Jason Licht<\/a>. \u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p>\nBucs Nation, how do you feel about Vea\u2019s extension?

Today\u2019s Buccaneers news<\/p>\n
After failing to win the NFC South for the first time since 2020, the Buccaneers are entering the season with lower expectations than normal. The team is returning much of its core in hopes that missing the playoffs was a one-year fluke. The division is still wide open with all four teams having a shot, including the Bucs.<\/p>\n
Baker Mayfield, Chris Godwin, and Kenneth Gainwell were some of the shining stars from practice, while the Bucs\u2019 front seven could have played a lot better. Ultimately, there were more positives than negatives from yesterday\u2019s practice, which is always a good sign at this point in training camp.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs are getting sorted ahead of their upcoming preseason game against the Bucs this weekend at Raymond James Stadium.<\/p>\n
The second week of the preseason starts tonight. We should see more starters from around the league as they get the reps needed to shed some rust off ahead of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea is sticking around with the team after signing a one-year extension.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,2989,137,136],"class_list":["post-376530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers-news","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
