After spending the past two years with the Falcons, **[Mike Hughes](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HughMi00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2025-03-11_pfr)**‘ time with the team is set to continue. The veteran corner has a new deal in place with Atlanta, [ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports](https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1899554135009349737).
This will be a three-year contract, Fowler adds. Hughes can collect up to $18MM over the course of the pact. He operated as a full-time starter in 2024, and that will remain the expectation moving forward with this new commitment.
Hughes split the first five years of his career between the Vikings, Chiefs and Lions. His playing time fluctuated over that time, as he never managed to establish himself as a full-time starter. The former first-rounder took a two-year deal to join the Falcons in 2023, though, and that decision has proven to be a fruitful one.
