He has played all IOL spots.
His contract with Seattle was through next year.
Remaining cap hit for this year is $1.47 mill.
Cap hit for next year is $3.5 mill with 0 dead cap.
Finney had not taken a snap yet this season for SEA.
His PFF ratings the past few years:
2019 - 56.9 (72.0 pass, 52.1 run) on 325 snaps
2018 - 71.5 (90.4 pass, 55.8 run) on 165 snaps
2017 - 66.4 (89.6 pass, 59.8 run) on 234 snaps
2016 - 72.8 (80.8 pass, 71.6 run) on 301 snaps
So what are the Bengals getting with Finney? Likely a versatile backup IOL who looks to be a good pass blocker but not good run blocker. He's similar to Trey Hopkins in terms of pass block vs run block.
I do not think there's much chance that he unseats any of the current starters, but he might be a better backup option than Price.
Finney is at least a decent backup IOL which I like. Spain I have higher hopes for and if XSF comes back we should be
much better on the inside. Liked what I saw of Price against the Stains for once. Hopefully Jonah and Hart are okay.
Might improve into an okay O-line as the year goes on.
