Colin Cowherd's Blazin' 5 Week 7 picks, including Bengals, Eagles and 49ers

Gets sack in win Vea tallied three tackles (one solo), including one sack, and was credited with an additional quarterback hit in the 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Impact The mammoth tackle was able to notch his first full sack of the season in the Week 6, a contest that also featured his first multi-tackle tally since Week 3. Vea continues to be a nearly immovable run-stopping force, but his ability to occasionally collapse the pocket and get to the quarterback is certainly a bonus. With Thursday's takedown of Jalen Hurts, Vea has now extended his streak of multisack seasons to four to open his career.

Super Bowl champs exercise fifth-year option on DT Vita Vea

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have exercised the fifth-year option on the contract defensive tackle Vita Vea signed as the 12th overall pick in the 2018 draft

APRIL 26, 2021 • Associated Press

Gets fifth-year option The Buccaneers have picked up the fifth-year option on Vea's rookie contract, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The fifth-year option is usually picked up for any first-round pick that hasn't been a bust. It's debatable if Vea has lived up to his status as the 12th overall pick in 2018, but there's no question he's a quality player, picking up 73 tackles and 7.5 sacks through 34 NFL games despite taking a lot of snaps at nose tackle. He missed the final 11 games of the 2020 regular season with a leg fracture, eventually returning for the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl. A breakout season could be ahead in 2021, especially if he doesn't have any issues with the leg this offseason. In any case, the Bucs aren't taking too much of a risk here, as fifth-year options are guaranteed for injury only.

Likely staying with Tampa Bay Vea's contract option will likely be picked up by the Buccaneers according to GM Jason Licht, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Though Vea didn't have as much game action in his 2020 campaign as seasons prior because of a leg injury, he managed to record 10 tackles (six solo) and two sacks through his five games. The 26-year-old plays a pivotal role in the team's defense, and it's no surprise Tampa Bay would want to keep a crucial part of their defensive line in the mix.
