Michael Hoecht brings proven edge pressure and versatile front-seven value
Hoecht has shown NFL-caliber disruption, posting 15.5 career sacks and a strong 2024 season with the Rams before flashing immediate impact for Buffalo in 2025 with 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble in limited action, but his current value is tempered by a torn Achilles that ended his 2025 season and puts his 2026 availability in question. He stands out as a high-motor, scheme-flexible DL/edge who can create pressure in bursts and has a track record of production, but a team should weigh that upside against injury risk and recovery timeline when deciding if he is the right fit.[7][10][12][13][14]
