Mike Greenberg enters his 17th season with the Buccaneers and fourth as Assistant General Manager. Prior to his promotion, Greenberg spent two seasons as the vice president of football administration after eight seasons as director of football administration and two seasons as the coordinator of football administration. He originally joined the club as player personnel assistant in 2010.

Greenberg works directly with General Manager Jason Licht on all aspects of the salary cap, contract negotiations, compliance with the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, as well as the club's financial and strategic planning. He oversees football administration, video, athletic training, equipment, groundskeeping and player development departments, in addition to managing budgeting for all football departments.

In 2026, Greenberg executed the contracts of a deep free agent class, including retaining the team's versatile and reliable tight end, Cade Otton, in addition to leading the negotiations with linebacker Alex Anzalone and defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson.

During the 2025 offseason, the Buccaneers once again placed an emphasis on retaining their own. Greenberg took the lead in the contract negotiations that led to a new three-year deal for guard Ben Bredeson and new deals for linebacker Lavonte David and edge rusher Anthony Nelson, while also aiding in the re-signing of wide receiver Chris Godwin. David's contract was the sixth he has signed with Tampa Bay, all with Greenberg, as David completed his entire 14-year career with the Buccaneers. In 2025, David tied Derrick Brooks for the second-most seasons played in franchise history (15) in addition to tying the franchise's all-time regular season tackles record (1,714). Nelson's contract marked this second re-signing with Tampa Bay since originally being drafted to the Buccaneers in 2019. Greenberg also executed contract extensions for right tackle Luke Goedeke and cornerback Zyon McCollum.

Working in tandem with Vice President of Football Research Jacqueline Davidson, Greenberg and his staff pieced together yet another noteworthy free agency haul in 2024, re-signing four of the NFL's top free agents in linebacker Lavonte David, wide receiver Mike Evans, quarterback Baker Mayfield and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. After managing to keep the team's core in place following its run to the NFC Divisional Round in 2023, Greenberg also helped add value free agents, including offensive lineman Ben Bredeson and wide receiver Sterling Shepard. The 2024 offseason also saw Greenberg extend Pro Bowl and All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs, as well as re-sign veteran kicker Chase McLaughlin.

Greenberg received critical acclaim for his work this offseason, helping the Buccaneers navigate a challenging salary cap situation while re-signing key members of the team and retooling the club's roster through a series of value signings. Despite financial restraints, Greenberg orchestrated the extension of outside linebacker Anthony Nelson, plus the re-signing of cornerback Jamel Dean and linebacker Lavonte David, two of the NFL's top available free agents heading into the 2023 offseason. In addition, Greenberg advised on negotiations in the signings of free agent quarterback Baker Mayfield and kicker Chase McLaughlin.

In the 2022 Greenberg played a key role in negotiating contracts to re-sign cornerback Carlton Davis III, Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin, and Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen.

The 2021 offseason resulted in the Buccaneers becoming the first team in the Super Bowl era to return all 22 starters after winning the Super Bowl. Greenberg played a crucial part in re-signing outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett, linebacker Lavonte David, tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, running back Leonard Fournette, while also extending Super Bowl LV MVP Tom Brady. Offensive lineman Donovan Smith also signed his second contract extension with the team in March.

In addition, Greenberg was able to negotiate a contract extension with nose tackle Vita Vea in Week 18 of the 2021 season.

During the 2020 offseason, Greenberg was vital in negotiating quarterback Tom Brady's two-year contract. He also oversaw the re-signings of former Pro Bowlers Jason Pierre-Paul and Ndamukong Suh, two key veteran presences on the Buccaneers defense. Greenberg was named a 2020 Tampa Bay Business Journal 40 under 40 honoree, in addition to also being listed on The Athletic's "NFL 40 Under 40: The rising stars shaping the direction of the NFL."

In his role as Director of Football Administration, Greenberg oversaw long-term contract extensions for linebacker Lavonte David and wide receiver Mike Evans, each of whom have earned Pro Bowl honors during their time with Tampa Bay. Greenberg also worked on extensions for offensive linemen Ali Marpet and Donovan Smith.

Before joining the Buccaneers, Greenberg worked with the New York Jets as a football administration intern in 2008 and 2009. He also spent time working as a law clerk for the National Football League's Management Council and as a summer associate at Jaspan Schlesinger LLP.

Greenberg graduated with honors from Cornell University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in policy analysis and management, and earned a Juris Doctor from Hofstra University School of Law on a full academic scholarship in 2010. He also was the research editor for the Hofstra Law Review. Greenberg is licensed to practice law in New York.

Prior to enrolling at Cornell, Greenberg spent one year at Binghamton University (2003), where he was a member of the Bearcats soccer program that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament that year and finished top 25 in the nation. Greenberg was also named to the America East All-Academic team. In 2023, the 2003 men's soccer team was inducted into the Binghamton Hall of Fame.

In 2017, Greenberg was inducted into the John F. Kennedy (Bellmore, New York) High School Hall of Fame. He and his wife, Ilana, have three sons, Hank, Harry, and Gus. They reside in Tampa.
