Sources: Bucs ink Bowles, GM Licht to extensions

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht to multiyear contract extensions, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

Bowles now enters his fourth year as the Bucs' head coach after leading the team to three consecutive NFC South titles from 2022-24.

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

Under Licht, the Buccaneers have drafted key players like Mike Evans, Tristan Wirfs, Vita Vea, Antoine Winfield Jr., Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Calijah Kancey, Cade Otton, Graham Barton, Luke Goedeke, Cody Mauch and more.

Tampa Bay leads the NFL in total snaps and starts by homegrown players drafted in Rounds 1-5 since 2014.
