On September 11, 2012, Hogan's practice squad contract was terminated by the Dolphins.

Buffalo Bills

On November 6, 2012, the Buffalo Bills signed Hogan to their practice squad. On December 18, 2012, Hogan was promoted to the active roster.

Hogan ended the year with 36 receptions for a career-high 450 yards and two touchdowns.

New England Patriots

On March 10, 2016, Hogan, a restricted free agent, signed a three-year offer sheet with the New England Patriots for $12 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed. The contract was front-loaded ($5.5 million in 2016) to make it difficult for the Bills to match. This occurred as head coach Bill Belichick saw major potential describing Hogan as a "burner" with incredible athleticism. On March 11, the Bills declined to match the offer sheet, receiving no draft compensation because of their original minimum salary one-year tender.

During a Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Hogan scored the first touchdown of the season for the Patriots on a 37-yard pass from Jimmy Garoppolo. In the Patriots' Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Hogan had a career-high of 114 receiving yards.

He also passed his previous career-best for receiving yards in a season with 461 yards on 21 receptions (20.1 yards per catch, then trailing only injured teammate Rob Gronkowski for the NFL lead at 21.6). In week 14, he caught a 79-yard touchdown pass against the Baltimore Ravens, the longest of his career (and the 7th longest in the NFL through week 14), part of another career-best 129 yards on 5 receptions. He ended the season with 38 receptions for 680 yards and 4 touchdowns; his 17.89 yards per catch was second only to DeSean Jackson's 17.95. In the postseason, Hogan had 4 receptions for 95 yards in a win over Houston, followed by 9 receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the AFC Championship win over Pittsburgh. These were career highs in all three categories, and a Patriots playoff record for receiving yards in a single game. On February 5, 2017, Hogan was part of the Patriots team that won Super Bowl LI. In the game, he had four receptions for 57 yards as the Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34–28 in overtime.
