Hoecht re-signed with the Rams on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Los Angeles placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Hoecht on March 13. He ultimately did not receive an offer sheet, so he has re-signed with the Rams as a result. The 26-year-old started 17 games and recorded 81 tackles (45 solo), six sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble in the process.
Hoecht, a restricted free agent, has been tendered by the Rams. By placing a one-year tender on the restricted free agent, the Rams will have the opportunity to match any contract offer extended to Hoecht by another team. Hoecht is still free to negotiate with other clubs coming off a 2023 season in which he set career highs in tackles (81) and sacks (6.0).
Hoecht logged a sack for the third time in his last five games in Week 12 thanks in part to Arizona's 45 pass attempts in a blowout. The Browns don't figure to try to throw the ball nearly as much in Week 13, somewhat dampening Hoecht's projection for that contest.
