## Resource

The Buffalo Bills just pulled off a savvy move by restructuring linebacker Michael Hoecht’s contract, freeing up nearly $3.6M in cap space — giving GM Brandon Beane room to maneuver for potential signings. What’s even more impressive? Hoecht played 24 defensive snaps and 19 on special teams in Week 1 against the Texans — just months after tearing his Achilles — recording five tackles and two pressures on C.J. Stroud. His standout performance signals a long-term future with the team through 2027, proving resilience and value that makes this restructure both smart and strategic.
