Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi has been suspended for six games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. The suspension was announced by Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane, who signed Ogunjobi earlier in the week without knowledge of the impending suspension.
Ogunjobi’s new deal with the Bills is worth $8.3 million with $8 million guaranteed, and includes incentives that could see him earn up to $10 million. In 2024, Ogunjobi recorded 16 pressures, 1.5 sacks, and 16 tackles in 15 games with the Steelers. Over his three-year tenure with the team, he totaled just six sacks.
Desperate for help on the defensive line, the Bills signed Ogunjobi shortly after his release from the Steelers. However, this suspension will impact his ability to contribute to the team. The Bills have also recently signed Joey Bosa to bolster their front line defense.
Overall, Ogunjobi’s suspension is a setback for both him and the Bills as they navigate through the upcoming season. Despite his past production on the field, this suspension will hinder his ability to make an immediate impact with his new team.
