While it was not a surprise that the Pittsburgh Steelers lost unrestricted free agent offensive lineman B.J. Finney, some were surprised by the price for which they lost him. According to reports, the fifth-year interior offensive lineman agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks that includes some incentives that could raise the total value a bit.
After Ramon Foster retired, wouldn’t $4 million per season have been a fair price to pay for a starting left guard? So why didn’t the Steelers try to retain him?
