The Pittsburgh Steelers officially signed LB Farrington Huguenin to a future/reserve contract on Friday.
Huguenin becomes the 12th player to sign a future/reserve contract with the Steelers since their season ended. The full list includes:
- DE Caushaud Lyons
- DB Jacob Hagen
- OT Matt Feiler
- OT Keavon Milton
- WR Marcus Tucker
- RB Dreamius Smith
- DB Mike Hilton
- RB Brandon Brown-Dukes
- DB Brandon Dixon
- WR Dez Stewart

- LB Farrington Huguenin
Future/reserve contracts are essentially an opportunity for players compete for a roster spot in offseason workouts and during training camp.
Huguenin, 24, wound up signing on with the Dolphins back in May after going undrafted out of Kentucky. He signed a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Dolphins and is set to make a base salary of $450,000 for the 2016 season.
The Dolphins waived Huguenin with an injury designation during the preseason before eventually cutting him loose with a settlement a week later.
During his college career, Huguenin recorded 97 tackles, five tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, a fumble recovery and three pass defenses.
