Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht signed contract extensions, the team announced Thursday.

Terms of the contracts were not disclosed, but multiple reports pegged Bowles’ deal at a total of four seasons through 2028. He had one year remaining on his original four-year contract entering 2025.

Buccaneers owner and co-chairman Joel Glazer said the leadership team is vital to extending the team’s run of success in the NFC South and beyond.

“The continuity and stability they provide will play a large role in our ability to compete for additional championships,” Glazer said in a statement.

Bowles was promoted from defensive coordinator when Bruce Arians retired after the 2021 season and has a 27-24 record in Tampa. He previously was head coach of the New York Jets (53-65) and briefly served as interim coach of the Miami Dolphins.

The Bucs enter the season having won three consecutive NFC South division titles.

“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 has been in the GM chair for the Buccaneers for 12 seasons, building a core that supported free agent signing Tom Brady on the way to winning Super Bowl LV. No team has been as committed to drafting, developing and retaining players, but the Bucs have also hit on multiple free agents under Licht. Following Brady, the Buccaneers turned Baker Mayfield from perceived reclamation project to Pro Bowl selection.

“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,” Licht said.
