Five things to know about new Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman B.J. Finney

When the Cincinnati Bengals traded one of the best defensive lineman in the history of the franchise, the Bengals got in return an offensive lineman, B.J. Finney, who could help them immediately.

Here are five things to know about Finney:

1. He signed a lucrative deal with the Seattle Seahawks this year.

In March, Finney signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Seahawks. Finney's salary is almost twice as big as Bengals right guard Xavier Su'a Filo's. The Bengals signed Su'a Filo to start at right guard during the offseason, and Su'a Filo is on a three-year, $9 million contract.
