Buccaneers GM says no Vita Vea trade, blocking 49ers' interest

nypost.com

Buccaneers general manager John Licht said Thursday he has no plans to trade Vita Vea, potentially blocking the defensive tackle's trade request. Vea's agent had said a trade seemed inevitable, and the 31-year-old is holding in during training camp. He is in the final year of a four-year, $71 million contract and has requested a move to California or Las Vegas. The 49ers, a logical trade partner due to their weak pass rush, may now face a hurdle. Vea generated 44 pressures last season, matching San Francisco's interior linemen total, and played all 17 games.
