Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Mark Dominik Receives 4-Year Contract Extension

It's about time.

This one was overdue, but now is as good a time as any.

With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unable to make any sort of free agency overtones during these ongoing chest-thumping stalemates between owners and players, the Bucs made sure that one very important player in the scheme of things will not hit the free agent market.

That would be general manager Mark Dominik.

According to ESPN, the man who put together the last two drafts has himself a new four-year contract extension, and that speaks volumes for the personnel future of this team.

Dominik has two great qualities: The ability to perform great due diligence and the intuition to know a good fit for this football team.

If you want to point at the perfect example, you need go no further than wide receiver Mike Williams, a first-round talent but a fourth-round steal. No one saw that coming, and that's what it takes these days.

What Dominik has shown that really counts is the ability to find players in the late rounds who made the roster, as opposed to seventh-rounders who were simply camp fodder.

You have the give the Glazers a thumbs up on this one.

Well done, lads.

Now, about that $1.5 billion offer for Manchester United...
