The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed first-round DT Vita Vea to a four-year rookie contract, according to Rick Stroud.
This leaves two draft picks still unsigned for the Buccaneers including:
| Rd | Pick | Player | Pos. | Status |
| 1 | 12 | Vita Vea | DT | Signed |
| 2 | 38 | Ronald Jones | RB | |
| 2 | 53 | M.J. Stewart | CB | Signed |

Vea, 23, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. According to OverTheCap.com, Vea receives an $14,878,424 contract that includes an $8,900,672 signing bonus.
The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Buccaneers to pick up in 2021. It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury and won’t prevent the two parties from working on a long-term extension.
During his three-year college career at Washington, Vea recorded 99 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, five pass defenses, and two forced fumbles.
