Restructures contract
Tampa Bay restructured Vea's contract Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Vea, who signed a four-year, $73 million extension in January of 2022, will have a large portion of his 2023 salary converted into a signing bonus. The veteran defensive tackle was expected to make $12.5 million in 2023, but his new deal will save Tampa Bay nearly $9 million in cap space.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Vea is the proverbial roadblock in the middle of a defensive line that teams crave, and his 6-4, 347-pound frame projects to pay off in multiple ways this season. Unfortunately for Vea's IDP prospects, the fantasy benefits of his presence are likely to be reaped mostly by defensive teammates. Vea will assuredly prove a difficult load to budge in the running game, which should allow him to notch his fair share of tackles. Additionally, the double- and triple-teams that he'll draw should go a long way toward affording the proficient pass-rushing trio of Vinny Curry, Jason Pierre-Paul and Gerald McCoy a robust share of one-one matchups. While Vea certainly isn't devoid of ability to get to the quarterback - as his 9.5 career college sacks attest - he'll likely be tasked with stopping the run first and foremost during his rookie campaign.
