After the retirement of Ramon Foster and the flurry of contract restructures and cuts to create cap space, Steeler Nation eagerly scanned for reports on a B.J. Finney contract.

It was one of those cases where they weren’t going to stand in his way if he got a better deal but to check back just in case they would think about matching.
