As he waits for a new deal, the two-time Pro Bowler is refusing to practice for the Buccaneers. He's due $18 million this season, a far cry from the one-year, $28 million extension Dexter Lawrence signed with the Cincinnati Bengals after he was traded from the New York Giants.
Vea reportedly demanded a trade from Tampa Bay and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler looked at the potential landing spots for the star interior defender.

He listed San Francisco among the best fits.
"San Francisco has already swung a trade for an interior lineman, sending a third-rounder to Dallas for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa in March. But both of its edge rushers (Joey Bosa and Mykel Williams) are coming off injury. Manufacturing a pass rush is a must (the 49ers were last in the NFL with 20 sacks last season), and Vea has 11.5 sacks over the past two seasons," he said .
"The 49ers are another 3-4 front team that is loaded with cap space (around $71 million). And for the first time in a long time, San Francisco isn't faced with having to pay an in-house star, as its core pieces are secure contractually."
Vea, who played his college football for Washington, is from California.
