ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills emphasized strengthening their defensive line this offseason, both through the draft and in free agency.
Back in March, however, the team announced two of their free agent additions, defensive end Michael Hoecht and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, will face a six-game suspension to start the 2025 season due to violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing drugs.
Both said the use was unintentional and took responsibility.
Hoecht and his representation made the Bills aware of the incoming suspension ahead of agreeing to terms on a three-year deal, while Ogunjobi only found out about the positive test after terms had been agreed upon -- his one-year deal was then adjusted before it was signed to reflect the suspension.
