In his first news conference, Licht talked about his plans: "Our philosophy is going to be to build through the draft. That's where we find our stars. That's where we find the next generation. But also in the short term and long term we're going to supplement our roster through free agency. But we're going to look for value. We're going to spend wisely."

Acquisitions of players like Jason Pierre Paul, Shaq Barrett, Leonard Fournette, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, Ndamukong Suh, and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady were critical in Tampa Bay’s success . Along with Licht’s ability in free agency, he was able to pick up star performers in the draft. He drafted players like Mike Evans, Vita Vea, Sean Murphy Bunting, Devin White, Tristan Wirfs, and Chris Godwin . Who were all key parts of their Super Bowl winning team.'''
