Hughes, 30, was selected by the Colts with the No. 31 overall pick of the 2010 draft but was traded to the Bills for linebacker Kelvin Sheppard in April 2013.
He is coming off one of his most productive seasons after leading Buffalo in sacks (seven), quarterback hurries (18), tackles for loss (13) and forced fumbles (three) last season.
He has 42 sacks and 281 tackles over six seasons in Buffalo.
