The Buffalo Bills have signed controversial guard Richie Incognito.

ESPN and the Buffalo News reported earlier Saturday that a deal was imminent, and the Bills later confirmed they had signed him. Terms of the contract were not announced.

Incognito was out of the NFL last year after he served an eight-game suspension in 2013 for bullying former Miami Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin.

The veteran offensive lineman was cleared last summer to play again after a league investigation found Incognito and fellow offensive linemen John Jerry and Mike Pouncey harassed Martin, who was later traded to the San Francisco 49ers.

A source close to new coach Rex Ryan — who in his introductory news conference last month said “we’re going to build a bully” — told the Buffalo News that the physical was a formality and that Incognito would join the Bills. The source added that Ryan considered Incognito a high-priority acquisition.

The 31-year-old Incognito played three games for the Bills in 2009. During his season out of the NFL in 2014, he visited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Denver Broncos but never signed.

Drafted in 2005 by the Rams, Incognito spent four-plus seasons in St. Louis. He was cut by the Rams in 2009 and claimed on waivers by the Bills before he became a free agent and went to the Dolphins.

—Ndamukong Suh’s rookie contract officially voided Friday and the Detroit Lions want to re-sign their all-pro defensive tackle.

That much we know, but absent of a new deal or application of the franchise tag, the second overall pick in the 2010 draft will become an unrestricted free agent on March 10. The Lions are the only team that can officially talk contract details with Suh until the three-day free agent negotiating period opens March 7. Suh can’t sign with another team until 4 p.m. on March 10.

The Detroit Free Press reported Friday that the Lions and Suh have yet to commence talks aimed at extending his stay, despite team president Tom Lewand stating last week that the team has a “very, very good chance” of striking a deal with him within the next few weeks.

Suh’s price tag for a new deal would be steep, given the Houston Texans gave defensive end J.J. Watt a $100 million deal last year without the leverage of free agency. The franchise tag reportedly would be $26.9 million for 2015.

—The Lions reached an agreement to hire Joe Marciano as their next special teams coordinator, SI.com reported.

Marciano served as special teams coordinator for the Houston Texans from 2002 to 2013. He spent last season assisting the Minnesota Vikings with their special teams.

Marciano, 60, will replace John Bonamego, who finalized a deal to become the next Central Michigan coach on Friday and is expected to be introduced next week.

—The Baltimore Ravens are hoping to negotiate a new contract with defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who is due an $8.5 million base salary in 2015, with $16 million counting against the salary cap.

The Baltimore Sun reported that if Ravens can’t negotiate a cheaper deal, Ngata will have to find another team to finish his Pro Bowl career.

Ngata, 31, a five-time Pro Bowl tackle, was the Ravens’ 2006 first-round draft pick. In 2014, he had 31 tackles and two sacks.

—As a reward for his Super Bowl-clinching interception, New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler will get a great deal on a new truck.

Quarterback Tom Brady won the MVP vote for the game after throwing four touchdown passes in the Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he decided to give the prize, which this year is a Chevrolet Colorado truck, to Butler instead.

Rather than subject Brady to potential taxes of up to $22,000 for the $35,000 vehicle, Chevrolet said it will give the truck to Butler directly. He will be presented with the vehicle Tuesday in Boston, a Chevy spokesman said.

Brady will avoid the gift tax of $8,000, but Butler probably will have to pay as much as $14,000 in income tax for the truck.
