So Are We Going to Play B.J. Finney, or What?

The Seahawks signed Finney to be their starting center (2 yr $8 million contract), but he has extensive experience at all three interior position from when he played for the Steelers.

Seems like as bad as we have been at O-line, and given all the injuries we have had there that Finney would have found some playing time before now.

Agreed.

My only thought is the Bengals never intended to consider Finney for anything other than an emergency player and plans to cut him after the season, as there will be no dead cap in 2021 or 2022. Seattle needed/wanted to purge some cap to make room for Dunlap and CIN agreed to take him on for the rest of the year for the sake of getting Dunlap off the books.

If there was a thought he should be considered for beyond 2020, he should have been getting some playing time by now.
