Steelers back up cornerback Anthony Madison signed his one-year tender, the team announced Friday.

Last season was Madison's best with the team since signing as an undrafted free agent from Alabama in 2006. He had a career-high 25 special teams tackles last year.

He began his Steelers career on the practice squad before moving up to the 53-man roster midway through 2006. He briefly spent time with Tampa Bay in 2007 before rejoining the Steelers.

No financial terms were disclosed.
