Buccaneers extend coach Todd Bowles, GM Jason Licht
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rewarded coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht with multi-year contract extensions. The team announced the extensions on Thursday. Bowles is coming off his third year as coach in which he led the Bucs to a fourth-straight NFC South title. His 27 regular-season victories are the franchise’s second-best total through three seasons behind Bowles’ predecessor, Bruce Arians. Licht is the fifth longest-tenured general manager in the league and is credited with drafting and retaining key players in Vita Vea, Tristan Wirfs, Mike Evans, Antoine Winfield Jr. and Chris Godwin. The team did not provide details of the extensions.
