Jerry Hughes signs five-year deal with Buffalo Bills

By , Reporter
Defensive end Jerry Hughes has agreed terms of a new-five year contract with the Buffalo Bills to ensure his long-term future with the AFC East outfit.

The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with Jerry Hughes over a five-year contract to keep the defensive end with the club.

Hughes was set to become a free agent when the new league year officially begins tomorrow and was expected to have a good market for his signature.

However, the Bills have swooped in with one final offer to keep the 26-year-old with Rex Ryan's men in a deal worth $45m (£29.7m), with $20m (£13.2m) guaranteed, to keep him under contract until the end of the 2019 season.

Hughes recorded 53 tackles, 10 sacks and three forced fumbles for the Bills last season.
