After three straight seasons of fielding a defense that ranked in the top four in points allowed, the Buffalo Bills took a step back in that regard in 2024, ranking 11th. Thus, fortifying that side of the ball was one of the priorities in free agency, and they did that by signing defensive linemen Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi.

However, the two new additions won’t be able to help Buffalo on the field until Week 7 at the earliest, as the pair has been suspended for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing drugs (PED).
