Keep in mind, Finney has starting experience at both Center and Guard.
With all of the bodies being rotated (Michael Jordan benched, Adeniji benched, Fred Johnson benched, Spain moving in and out of the lineup) why not give this guy some snaps?
Fwiw, he's currently due to make 3.5 million next season, with the ability to cut bait with no dead cap.
Curious to hear what others think. It seems odd to take a player in trade, and in a year where you've replaced both guards, to not even give him a chance.
Maybe he just absolutely stinks but then that begs the question, why the hell did you take him in trade? Just leave him out of the deal and try to get a round or two higher of a pick, or select another backup player to pair with the pick.
I'm pretty sure it was always a salary dump from the Seahawks to make room for Dunlap. The big clue is that Finney could be cut with zero dead money at the end of the year.
Finney is primarily a C but they liked Hopkins enough to give him a big contract and Zac raved about Price's attitude (of course it could have been the Front Office's intention to sign Finney so they could shop Price and Zac vetoed this but this seems unlikely). He can play G too but the Bengals were already pursuing Spain so why would they pursue another (back-up) O-lineman?

We know what we have in WRs such as Mike Thomas and Alex Erickson. Let's see what we have in Scotty Washington and Trenton Irvin
Shut Gio down and see if the big RB from FSU gives us anything
But the one I really want to see is Mitchel Wilcox at TE.
Don't forget my guy Stanley Morgan (who's actually been promoted to the roster).
