Hughes’ career came into question when the Bills signed veteran Von Miller, who had just won a Super Bowl with the LA Rams.
Hughes will be a welcome addition to this team. The longtime Bills player thanked those fans and the organization for the kindness they have shown over the years towards him and his family on his Twitter account.
“To the Pegulas, my teammates, coaches and staff, and of course Bills Mafia, I am so thankful for the people I’ve met and the friendships that were formed. ”
“It’s been an amazing 9 years. My family and I enjoyed it all. Forever grateful and unbelievably blessed.”

Coming out of TCU, Hughes was a two-time All-American who was drafted 31st in 2010 by the Indianapolis Colts where he would spend his first two years as a pro before leaving for the Bills, where he would spend the majority of his playing career.
Not only will his presence be missed on the field by the Bills, but off it as well.
Thank you @Iam_jerryhughes for everything you did for the city of Buffalo as well as the franchise. In my opinion, you belong on the Wall in the new stadium. God bless you and your family. Good luck this upcoming season.
