But before he gets busy with his new team, he made sure to write a sincere message to all of Patriot Nation.

The former New England receiver took to Instagram yesterday to thank the organization and its fans.

“It was an incredible three years and I am blown away at the amount of support my family has been given from teammates and fans,” Hogan writes. “I made a lot of memories in New England and more importantly a lot of friendships that I will have for the rest of my life.”
