The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed general manager Jason Licht to an extension through 2019.

Licht, 47, replaced Mark Dominik as GM in 2014, a few weeks after Lovie Smith was named head coach.

“I think one of the positive signs in any situation is re-signing your own players,” Joel Glazer said in March. “And when you start getting on a trend that you’re re-signing your own players, that means you are drafting well. If you’re drafting well, generally that means you’re going to start having success.

“So you saw Cameron Brate and Mike Evans [re-signed]. We got a couple of young guys with contracts that are coming up that we know we’re going to want to keep. So that to me is the most positive sign of, you know, what’s happening with the general manager.”
