So the Bengals trade Ryan Finley to the Texans for pick 202. Finley who was going to be released by the Bengals regardless. RB Chris Evans, a player who looks to be replacing Giovanni Bernard, was the pick. 2 months later the Texans sign Jeff Driskoll, the QB the Bengals cut to keep Ryan Finley and Finley gets waived.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

Finleys career is about over. He lacks the arm strength to drive the ball in tight windows . What a wasted pick by ZT

Finely waived? Meh, big deal. Bengals got the better end of the trade, as Chris Evans appears to be one of those dynamic RBs that can be useful in multiple capacities.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Still can't believe that an NFL team gave anything for Finley. Even if it wasn't much, getting anything was highway robbery.

That trade and the win over the Steelers helped make up for drafting such a bad QB in the 4th round.
Finley may be a bad QB, but he'll be remembered for that game alone.

He'll always have the Steelers game. No one can take that away from him.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

we say that every year about a RB that ends up on the PS then disappears.

Yeah. That's funny, but that was the best highlight of last year.
