Bills Thank Micah Hyde Following Retirement Announcement
The Buffalo Bills suffered a tough loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, but another major change followed as veteran safety Micah Hyde announced his retirement from professional football.
Hyde shared his decision on social media just days before the Super Bowl matchup between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
“So much LOVE and way too many THANKS! From Fostoria to Iowa City to Green Bay to Buffalo, the goal was to leave an impact. That was one helluva dream. On to the next. MH,” Hyde wrote on Instagram.
The Bills responded with a simple message: “Thank you, Micah!!”
In December, Hyde re-signed with the Bills after spending much of the season as a free agent. Reflecting on his time in Buffalo, he expressed gratitude for the team and the community.
“We’ve always connected with this place,” Hyde said. “To see the reaction that people have with us signing back here is truly amazing. I think it’s an indication of how my family, the foundation (Imagine for Youth), and everything we’ve done have given back to this community, and we’ll continue to do that.”
Bills general manager Brandon Beane praised Hyde’s leadership and presence in the locker room.
“Who better than Micah Hyde to have in your building?” Beane said. “The most positive guy, team-first and selfless… Everyone welcomed him with open arms. To see the smiles on the faces when he came back in here—it was special.”
Hyde retires as a two-time second-team All-Pro, leaving behind a lasting impact on the league and the Buffalo franchise.
