Former Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker Sam Eguavoen has signed a futures deal with the Miami Dolphins, TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor confirmed.

3DownNation's Justin Dunk originally reported the news.

The Roughriders released Eguavoen, who was scheduled to become a free agent next month, earlier this month to sign in the NFL.

The 25-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Roughriders, finishing with 81 tackles, three sacks, and an interception last season.
