As expected. JK is a beast.

Yessir... I'm curious if they try to retain Gus Edwards too. Pretty sure he's a FA. I'd take Edwards on the Steelers any day.

Maybe if Carson isn't available...

He sees nothing wrong with their passing game?

@blue_suns - Thoughts?

I’d be down to bring back BJ!

Same, him and Beachum. At a minimum to provide depth.

Why? If the Bengals with their atrocious line don't even want him for depth, what in the world could the Steelers possibly want him for?

Wow just looked at his PFF profile. Says he played 1126 snaps last season (2nd) and only allowed 3 sacks all season.

With those kind of numbers and that sort of reliability... He’ll get a better contract than what the Steelers will be able to offer

Multitude of reasons for optimism. He was a beastly depth option for Pgh for many years.

Not sure why he never caught on elsewhere. Injuries, poor scheme fit, or maybe the Bengals & Hawks just suck at evaluating OL talent.

Well, that last part is probably very true. I can't deny that, but that is more to them finding a good player in the draft or willing to spend on one in FA. Once they are here, we know if they are a good player or not. Finney had a chance, they would have been able to see once he was here if he was worth anything.

Next stop... Baltimore?

He was a great player. I'm interested to know whether he is physically able to play this year (or really again)..... I read that the Bengals cut him with a failed physical designation. I'm not really sure what that means given that players aren't even on OTAs yet. But he did have some mysterious shoulder issue that never got better last year.
