Bucs reportedly reach an extension with DC Mike Smith

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an agreement with defensive coordinator Mike Smith on a contract extension, according to multiple reports.

Smith was a candidate for the Chargers' head coaching job after Tampa improved from 26th to 15th in scoring defense last season. But he'll remain with Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter as the two start their second year together in Tampa after two years in Atlanta, where Smith served as head coach and Koetter was his offensive coordinator.
