Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles has agreed a new multi-year contract extension with the team, it has been announced.
Bowles, who has spent three of his six seasons with the Bucs as head coach after initially joining as defensive coordinator, was entering the final year of his previous $3million contract in Tampa Bay.
Yet this week the 61-year-old has extended his stay even further after putting pen to paper on an extension, although the exact terms of the deal are currently unclear.
As well as Bowles, general manager Jason Licht is also said to have been handed a new multi-year deal.
‘Jason and Todd’s excellent leadership and vision have been critical to our organizational success, and the winning culture they have established has us well positioned into the future,’ Buccaneers owner and co-chairman Joel Glazer said in a statement on Thursday.
‘Jason has evolved into one of the top talent evaluators and general managers in the NFL, while Todd has led us to three consecutive division titles and is one of the league’s leading defensive minds.

‘Under their guidance, we will continue building towards another championship.’
Both Bowles and Licht, who is entering his 12th season as GM, have played a key part in Tampa Bay’s recent revival, which started with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LV.
The Bucs have owned the NFC South since then, winning four straight titles – three of which have come under Bowles after he was promoted by Licht from DC to head coach following the retirement of Bruce Arians in early 2022.
