Steelers sign S John Battle to Futures contract

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced another roster move on Thursday. Pittsburgh has signed safety John Battle to a Futures contract for the 2020 offseason. Teams use a Futures contract to try to lock up players they are hoping have some potential ahead of the start of free agency and give them their 90-man roster for offseason workouts.

Battle played college football at LSU. He went undrafted but spent last season on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. Battle should have a chance to work for a depth position among the Steelers safeties.
