We've released C B.J. Finney.
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) March 5, 2021
The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday they were releasing veteran center B.J. Finney. Finney spent his first four seasons with the Steelers before splitting last season between the Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals.
When free agency starts later in the month, Finney should be the first signing the Steelers make. Finney might not have fit with the Seahawks or Bengals but he showed he can play in the Steelers system.
Finney started 13 games with the Steelers at both guard and center. The retirement of Maurkice Pouncey last month leaves a huge hole on the offensive line. Finney would be a tremendous addition as he’d give quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a player he knows and trusts at center while the Steelers sort out the long-term answer at the position.
