Former Steelers interior lineman, B.J. Finney, became current Steelers, interior lineman, B.J. Finney on Friday when he and the team agreed to a one-year deal for the 2021 season.
Finney, who was traded to the Bengals last season after initially beginning the 2020 campaign in Seattle where he signed a two-year, $8 million contract last spring, was released by Cincinnati on March 5. Soon after Finney’s release, it almost seemed inevitable that the Steelers would at least get in touch with a player they signed as an undrafted free agent and then developed into a very valuable and versatile backup interior lineman capable of playing guard or center in a pinch.
