Dolphins Sign Six Practice-Squad Players to Reserve/Future Deals

The minimum-salary contracts keep developmental players in-house for offseason work without counting against the roster or salary cap until the new league year in March.

Overview

  • Miami signed WR AJ Henning, DT Alex Huntley, LBs Derrick McLendon and K.C. Ossai, and OLs Josh Priebe and Kion Smith.
  • Each player finished the 2025 season on the Dolphins’ practice squad.
  • These reserve/future deals take effect when the league year opens in March, when offseason rosters expand to 90 players.
  • McLendon was elevated late in the season and played 19 defensive snaps in the Week 18 finale against the Patriots.
  • Smith is the longest-tenured of the group after first joining in 2021, while Henning, Huntley and Priebe were 2025 undrafted rookies and Ossai joined the practice squad in December.
