After having a career year in 2016 with the San Francisco 49ers, linebacker Gerald Hodges has signed a deal with the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills announced the free-agent signing on social media. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported it's a one-year contract.
Hodges entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2013. He spent the first two seasons of his career with them before being traded to the 49ers midway through the 2015 season.
The 49ers gave Hodges an opportunity to start last season.
