Michael Hoecht Contract Restructured By Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills converted $4.825 million of outside linebacker Michael Hoecht's salary into a signing bonus, creating $3.6 million in salary cap space. The move provides general manager Brandon Beane with flexibility for potential in-season acquisitions. Hoecht recently returned from an early November Achilles tear to record five tackles and two quarterback pressures against Houston in Week 1, increasing the likelihood he remains part of Buffalo's future plans.
