The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that both General Manager Jason Licht and Head Coach Todd Bowles have signed multi-year contract extensions. This move ensures continued leadership stability for the franchise, reflecting the team’s confidence in their direction and commitment to building a competitive team for the future.


Well deserved.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they have signed head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht to multi-year contract extensions.

“Jason and Todd’s leadership has been critical to our organization’s success. The winning culture they have established has us well positioned for the future,” Buccaneers owner/co-chairman Joel Glazer said in a statement. “The continuity and stability they provide will play a large role in our ability to compete for additional championships.”

ESPN reports the extensions are both three-year deals that push through the 2028 season. Bowles enters his fourth season as the team’s head coach with a 27-24 record and having won three consecutive NFC South titles from 2022 to 2024.

“I am excited to continue working with Jason for years to come as we build on the success we’ve enjoyed and keep reaching for even bigger and better goals,” Bowles said in a statement. “My family loves Tampa and we’re looking forward to delivering more great moments for our fans in the coming seasons.”

Licht is currently the NFL’s fifth-longest-tenured traditional general manager, entering his 12th season with the Bucs.

“I am very grateful to the Glazer Family for the trust and belief they have shown in what we are doing here,” Licht said in a statement. “I am also very excited to continue working alongside Todd well into the future as we continue our mission of finding and developing talented players and chasing additional championships for our fans.”

The Buccaneers finished 10-7 last season, winning the NFC South, but losing in the NFC Wild Card Game to the Washington Commanders.
