Bucs Announce Major Contract News For Todd Bowles and GM Jason Licht
Bucs Announce Major Contract News For Todd Bowles and GM Jason Licht originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jason Licht and Todd Bowles have worked together for a number of years since joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The head coach-general manager dynamic has only existed for the last three. Advertisement Bowles and Licht have carried on the success that produced a Super Bowl and multiple playoff appearances in the years that preceded the former taking over the head coaching job. Count three more playoff appearances and three more NFC South titles. The Bucs have built a stable playoff team that has continued to improve each season. Recognizing their achievement and importance to the franchise, Tampa Bay has locked up both for the foreseeable future. The team announced Thursday multiyear extensions for Bowles and Licht. "Jason and Todd's leadership has been critical to our organization's success. The winning culture they have established has us well positioned for the future," Buccaneers owner/co-chairman Joel Glazer said in a statement. "The continuity and stability they provide will play a large role in our ability to compete for additional championships." Advertisement The head coach's deal stands for three more years as he prepares to enter his fourth year at the helm in Tampa Bay. Bowles comes off a 10-7 season that saw the Bucs win six of their last seven games to reclaim the crown in the South. "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. "My family loves Tampa and we're looking forward to delivering more great moments for our fans in the coming seasons." Licht remains one of the longest tenured executives in the NFL, preparing for his 12th season with the Bucs. He was instrumental in the blockbuster Tom Brady signing in 2020 that led to the franchise's second Super Bowl victory the following season. Advertisement Since then, Licht has engineered the transition from the Brady years to now aiding the Baker Mayfield resurgence with the Bucs, maintaining key franchise pieces in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr, Tristan Wirfs and others along the way. While Licht's future was more secure, there were some silent whispers about what a setback year could mean for Bowles' future as the head coach. Instead, the Bucs make a clear commitment to their leadership in two key areas for the coming years, investing in a continuation of the progress shown each of the last three seasons.

Baltimore lawyer sues Meta, Google over online ‘squatter house' networks
In his second lawsuit targeting social media giants, Baltimore lawyer and real estate firm co-owner Barry Glazer is suing Meta and Google over social-media-based networks that sell unauthorized access to vacant properties. In the proposed class-action complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court for Maryland, Glazer and his Century 21 Downtown co-owner, Gina Gargeu, say that the proliferation of so-called "squatter" networks on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube "poses a threat to legitimate property owners and commerce." The schemes target homes that are unoccupied while listed for sale, offering keys and tours of illegally accessed properties on social media, where they are sometimes advertised as "squatter houses." The complaint says that the illicit rentals, where "sellers" often change locks on unoccupied properties, increase the real estate companies' liability and maintenance costs. A costly eviction process further deprives them of sales income with extended vacancies, the complaint says. "I can't believe they're getting away with it," Glazer said, noting how "blatantly" illegal the bogus rentals are. "It's going on everywhere." He said he doesn't personally own any homes that were squatted in, though he represents property owners who do. The tech giants have policies that prohibit fraudulent conduct, though their failure to enforce those rules "induced (the real estate company) to believe their properties and listings were not vulnerable to hijacking," the complaint says. "Despite receiving reports, complaints and public attention about the schemes, (Meta and Google) failed to remove or prevent this content." Neither Meta nor Google immediately returned requests for comment Monday morning. Local leaders have vowed to hold those involved in the "squatter house" trend accountable. Although squatting is largely handled as a civil matter, Baltimore prosecutors have said certain aspects of the trend may reach a criminal level, and Mayor Brandon Scott said last month there was an open police investigation regarding certain social media videos. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said last week that the state was taking "immediate action" on the issue. Glazer, a local lawyer known for his colorful television ads, also sued Meta last month over counterfeit coins being sold on Facebook Marketplace, vowing to hold social media platforms accountable for scams. In that case, Meta is seeking until the end of July to file a formal response to the complaint, according to court records. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
