He has another year left on his deal.
He just made a $3 million contribution to All Children's Hospital here which spans over 8 years. At the press conference for that donation, he made the statement "Tampa is my home now." When he signed his last contract he said he thought about signing a 1-year deal so he could test the UFA market but after thinking about it for one day, said he realized this is where he "wants to be."
I think his preference will be to remain in Tampa. We are $6M under the cap, and Vinny is only about $1M shy of the max, anyway, so he wouldn't need much of that cap space.
