Should the Raiders trade for Vita Vea
Silver And Black Pride • • sports
Key Points:
- The Las Vegas Raiders plan to switch to a 3-4 defense in 2026, creating a need for a strong nose tackle.
- To address this, the Raiders have added Benito Jones, drafted Brandon Cleveland, and signed undrafted free agent Gary Smith II.
- Since Jonathan Hankins left, the Raiders have lacked a dominant run-stopper in the middle of their defense.
- Vita Vea, currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has requested a trade and reportedly wants to join the Raiders, making him a prime candidate to fill the nose tackle position.
- SB Nation Reacts is polling Raiders fans on whether the team should trade for Vita Vea, inviting fan participation through a survey.
