The Seattle Seahawks have now officially announced the signing of former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman, B.J. Finney. Reports the two sides had reached an agreement surfaced last week.
Finney, a product of Kansas State, first entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2015. He spent the last four seasons in Pittsburgh, starting 13 of 59 games played. Finney’s versatility is key, having logged time at center and both guard positions.
The Seahawks battled a number of injuries on the offensive line last year, losing both starting center Justin Britt and guard Ethan Pocic to the injured reserve. Finney could provide much-needed depth across the line when the team reconvenes this offseason.
In light of the coronavirus outbreak, the Seahawks had made it clear they would not be announcing any new personnel moves until contracts had officially been signed.
