The tender will cost the Steelers $3.095 million for 2019 if he signs it and ensures Pittsburgh receives a second-round pick if Finney signs with another team.

Insurance if Foster leaves. If Foster stays, top back up!

Other tenders and non-tenders (trying to avoid multiple threads on tenders like the algae bloom of AB threads)
The Steelers have given guard B.J. Finney the kind of one-year contract that screams “starter” for 2019....
They also have given a tender to tight end Xavier Grimble of just over $2 million as a restricted free agent as fellow tight end Jesse James is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
They tendered minimum-wage one-year contracts to cornerback Mike Hilton and tackle/guard Matt Feiler, who were exclusive-rights free agents unable to look elsewhere once tendered.
Of note, they did not give punter Jordan Berry a tender

That says to me he's taking Foster's place, which is fine.
$2 million for Grimble? Why? You can get players like that out of the garbage can.

Good move.
He’s ready to be a starter, no drop-off in performance replacing Foster IMO.

I think he starts this year and Foster is gone. Foster wants a payday which I'm not sure we're paying up. 2nd round tender is a high one for someone we plan to just be a backup.

Solid move on Finney, worth keeping around and doubt someone will be willing to part with a round 2 pick to get him.
Grimble on the other hand, why?

Would rather have used that money to re-sign James. Colbert usually is good for one move in the offseason that's a head scratcher. He's like the Big Ben of GM's. Great but questionable throws that have you like wtf? :chuckle:

Word is that after the Boyle deal, James May get between 5-7M...lol.

That'd be a pass for me then. I mean the guy plays hard, can finds holes in coverage, but he is just not worth a ton cap space. Like name a random TE that actually plays in the NFL and explain to me how Jesse James is significantly better than that guy.

Jesse James needs to be a Cowboy. That’s just how it should be.

I know, right? He's like the Bud Dupree of tight ends.
(sorry, couldn't resist. But yes, I 100% agree there is no way in hell we should spend that much on James.)

Not if Jerrah just brought back 110 year old Jason Witten. :old:
