Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM, former LHS, KU grad, gets extension

? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to a four-year contract extension for General Manager Mark Dominik, who just completed his second year in the position.

The team announced the contract extension Monday morning.

Dominik, a Lawrence High and Kansas University graduate, has overhauled the team’s roster, making the Buccaneers the youngest team in the NFL. The team earned a 10-6 record in 2010, marking the best single-season turnaround. Team officials say the Buccaneers in 2010 became the first team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to start 10 different rookies on their way to a winning season.

Dominik, who has been with the organization for 16 years, has overseen the team’s last two drafts.
