There was some concern when the Steelers placed a second-round tender on reserve B.J. Finney they could be moving on from Foster. But thankfully Pittsburgh was able to keep both and maintain consistency along the offensive line.

Foster has been the most underrated guy on the Steelers’ offensive front. He’s started 131 games over 10 seasons after being an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee. Foster isn’t just one of the better guards in the league he’s genuinely one of the good guys in the NFL. He’s also a fan favorite so this move should please the fans.
