2021 Season Breakdown:
B.J. Finney left the Steelers in 2020 in pursuit of better pay and a chance to start when he hit free agency, signing a two-year, $4 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He didn’t last the season before he was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals and released the following offseason.
According to Finney, he had great difficulty staying in shape due to various complications created by the COVID-19 pandemic at the time, which he says played a factor in his not being able to play up to the level he believes he can while with the Seahawks.
