The Steelers signed Henry to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was a free agent for the majority of the season, joining the Browns in Week 14 and eventually ending the season with the Steelers. In his one game active, the 26-year-old played five snaps on special teams without appearing on the stat sheet. The third-year pro will participate in Pittsburgh's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.

Henry was waived by the Cowboys on Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was part of a flurry of transactional moves by the Cowboys on Saturday. The defensive end logged snaps in two games with the team this season and mainly played on special teams. A 2023 fifth-round pick by virtue of the Commanders, Henry could catch on with another practice squad this season.

Henry signed with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was a fifth-round selection by the Commanders in the 2023 Draft but wasn't able to make an impact there. Ultimately, he found his way to Cincinnati, who waived him from its roster on Sept. 17. The second-year pro has 19 combined tackles, two passes defended and 1.5 sacks in 12 career games. With the Cowboys, he'll be tasked with bolstering their depth upfront with DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and Micah Parsons (ankle) both expected to miss time.

Henry was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Henry appeared in both games for Cincinnati this season but only played 10 snaps on defense while seeing seven snaps on special teams. The second-year pro was selected in the fifth round by the Commanders in the 2023 NFL Draft but was unable to stick there as well. He'll now work to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Henry recorded 19 tackles 14 solo), two pass defenses and 1.5 sacks across 10 games during his 2023 rookie season.
EDGE Analysis
The fifth-round pick made just one appearance before November, strictly playing special teams, but then got more playing time once the Commanders traded DEs Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Henry played at least 30 snaps on defense in each of the team's final seven games, but he won't necessarily have that kind of role in his second season with the Commanders presumably looking to upgrade their shaky group of edge defenders this spring.

Henry recorded four tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks and two passes defensed in Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Henry played a career-high 36 defensive snaps in Week 11, and he made the most of his increased playing time by posting the most productive game of his rookie year so far. He should continue to see an expanded role for the remainder of the campaign and thus more chances to show off his speed on the edge.
