"The Miami Dolphins signed six players to reserve/future contracts Tuesday: wide receiver AJ Henning, defensive tackle Alex Huntley, outside linebacker Derrick McLendon linebacker K.C. Ossai and offensive linemen Josh Priebe and Kion Smith. Futures contracts allow the team to immediately bring back players following the end to their season and before the start of the new league year, securing their rights for next season without affecting the current year's salary cap."
"McLendon was a standout in training camp ahead of the past season. Falling short of making the active roster, he was elevated for Miami's final two games and played 19 defensive snaps in the finale against the New England Patriots, his regular-season debut. Smith has had an extended tenure with the Dolphins at this point. A member of the practice squad in 2021 and 2022, he made the 53-man roster in 2023."
"Between that season and this past one, he has appeared in 23 games with two starts. He missed 2024 with a knee injury suffered in the preseason. Ossai was a December signing to the Dolphins' practice squad who could now get a full year in the organization. Henning, Huntley and Priebe were all undrafted rookies for Miami in 2025 and spent the season on the practice squad."
