Vita Vea, who joined the Bucs in 2018, leads the team’s monstrous defensive line. He was drafted 12th overall out of Washington in the 2018 draft and has since become not only a fan favorite but also one of the best players at his position.
On Thursday, Vita Vea was named to his second Pro Bowl, and as a result, he is now receiving some extra money.
According to Spotrac, several NFL players are cashing in various amounts from Thursday’s Pro Bowl announcements. One of them is Vita Vea of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vea is now slated with his latest Pro Bowl selection to be in line for a $500k to be added to his base salary of $15.5 million.
Vea signed a four-year, $71 million dollar contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January of 2022. If his play keeps on the course it currently is on, he could be in line to keep adding value to his contract through various bonuses, like the Pro Bowl one.
