The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved swiftly to lock down head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht to new multi-year contracts.

In a show of good faith by Buccaneers ownership, Bowles and Licht will continue to work side by side as they look to bring another championship home.

With a roster that right now is seen as one of the better ones, not only in the NFC but in football, the Buccaneers feel poised to make some serious noise in 2025.

And as for the contract extension, Licht is looking forward to continuing to chase championships.

“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.”

Fans might have hope that the Buccaneers can go on a deep playoff run in 2025 with an offense that is loaded, plus what they hope will be an improved defense with the addition of Haason Reddick.

Tampa Bay is again the favorite for the NFC South, with the Atlanta Falcons also gaining momentum, but the roster that Licht has helped put together is well-rounded and doesn't have too many weaknesses.

The offense will be the driving force with Baker Mayfield enjoying a career resurgence that shows no signs of slowing down.

Just like Licht's thirst for another Super Bowl title.
