    Weird. Good for BJF, Jones must have fallen flat on his face if they decided that quickly to ditch him.

    I'm guessing he just can't stay healthy

    I agree. This must be playing a factor.

    I liked Finney, glad to see him back on the PS. I watched him a lot in the preseason games and he seemed to do better than the others vying for the C/G back up.

    Barrett was really good and versatile in college.... As a pro he has struggled .... It happens... BJ was injured when he was waived but I don't think he received a waived/injured settlement which pointed to a possible return .... Glad he's back.

    Yeah, in general, not just here. Jones was a promising, versatile prospect coming out of Alabama before he injured his foot.

    I really like BJ Finney, glad he has made it to our practice squad. Decent FA rookie pick up. He had a shot at it before, but got hurt on the last play of pre-season, and it made the decision for the Steelers easier at the time, glad he is back!

    Barrett was the guy I wanted instead of Landry Jones. I never would have guessed we'd have both, then Landry would outlast him.
