That's amazing! Vita definitely got big bucks and he deserves it. 1 less thing to worry about in the offseason and for the foreseeable future.

The man. No doubt. Got it done. I look forward to at least another 5 years here.

Hype!!!

Now we gotta get another beast of a Dlineman to play next to him. Batman needs his Robin. Need to take full advantage of his prime.

I wonder if any void years are attached to help smooth out the cap hit.

I imagine AB is just fuming right now that GM Tom Brady decided to pay Vita over him lol.

Much deserved, love Vea. Drafting him helped turn our defensive system into what it is now.

Lol I bet this the timing of this was at least partly a middle finger to AB. He had to come begging for a measly $1mil in incentives guaranteed and quit the team over it. We respond by giving Vea $42 million guaranteed.

It's expected, but always good to re-sign our own draft picks to 2nd contracts they deserve.

I like it!

Next year is Devin White... maybe, probably imo

What’s the cap number for the contract?

He’s a valued player, but we did GET to the SuperBowl without him.

We have to watch the cap. Brady retires, and we’re in the cap hell where watchng Bucs games reminds me of the Josh Freeman era.

No we did not get to the Super Bowl without him. He played in the NFC Championship game and played extremely well.

Key word being PRIOR. You do realize you still have to win the championship game to get to the Super Bowl right. Vea played in the championship game. Ergo WE DID NOT GET TO THE SUPER BOWL WITHOUT HIM.

Bro, you’re ability to argue would make you think you were the lawyer of the board and not Kress.

Again, my question is does anyone have the caphit per year?

Don't get mad when you post something that is factually inaccurate and get called out.

To answer that question, not yet. Details will probably be released during the week.

If @PetePierson were here he'd hate this deal. He's never been a fan.

I like being an elite run defense. I know it hasn't been to the same standard at times this season as last year or the year before. But it's no coincidence that our run defense becoming elite and Vea's arrival overlap.

Vea, Shaq, Tryon, White, AWJ

I like those pieces in place the next few years to transition post-Brady.

LVD for atleast another year, probably 2.

Of course not, Vea would wup him so bad he would say coach I gotta have some help.

Think it's time to add a jersey to the collection.

Tevita Tuliʻakiʻono Tuipulotu Mosese Vaʻhae Fehoko Faletau Vea is the fucking man and I'm thrilled about having him around for a long time.

Vea had one of the more pronounced switch flips that I can remember. In terms of performance. I was worried he was looking like a bust for a minute there. Big man figured it out and is priceless for our purposes.

I never saw bust in him. It was just early career injuries that seemed to be holding him back. He was always considered smart, so I figured he would learn to play at this level giving time.

Vea is the most important player on the defense, yes I said it.

The core of the defense is strong.
