Buccaneers Extend Bowles, Licht After Super Bowl Run

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht to multi-year contract extensions, reinforcing organizational stability following several successful seasons. Under Bowles and Licht, the Buccaneers have won three consecutive NFC South titles and made five straight playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl victory during the Tom Brady era. Licht, entering his 12th year as GM, is credited for his drafting and roster-building skills, guiding the team through its championship run and the transition to a younger roster. Bowles, who became head coach in 2022, is recognized for his defensive expertise, strong locker room leadership, and has improved the team's record each season. Ownership praised their leadership and commitment to sustaining a winning culture, with Joel Glazer highlighting their role in the team's ongoing playoff presence. With both leaders extended, the Bucs aim for deeper playoff runs amid heightened expectations in the NFC.
