Ira Kaufman of JoeBuscFan.com, citing multiple sources reports that the Buccaneers have signed GM Jason Licht to an extension through the 2019 season.
This extension prevents Licht from being a lame-duck GM for the upcoming season, but also won’t stand in the way of the team moving on from him next year if they feel a change is needed.
Tampa Bay picked up Licht’s 2018 option last December.
Licht, 47, began his NFL executive career working for the Patriots as their assistant director of player personnel. He moved on after one year and joined the Eagles’ front office and worked his way up to VP of player personnel.
From there, Licht worked for the Cardinals and before the Buccaneers hired him as their GM in 2014.
During his time in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers have posted a record of 22-42 (34.3 percent) and have yet to make the playoffs.
