Bills restructure Michael Hoecht’s contract, save money on salary cap

The Buffalo Bills have reworked defensive lineman Michael Hoecht's existing deal, a maneuver that freed up $3.6 million against the team's payroll limits ahead of their season-opening clash with the Houston Texans.

Following the adjustment, Buffalo went on to capture a Week 1 victory on the road against Houston, leaving the contest with their roster largely healthy as they turn their attention to a short turnaround before Thursday night.
