In Finley, the Texans land a mobile quarterback with limited upside. Deshaun Watson might be traded, so Finley could back up veteran Tyrod Taylor with Houston in 2021. However, either Watson (or whomever the Texans acquire if he were to be traded) should relegate Finley to third-string duties.

With Joe Burrow entrenched as Cincinnati's backup, and with Brandon Allen ahead of Finley on the depth chart, the Bengals decided to part ways with the latter. They did not get much in return, but Cincy is now in good shape at the quarterback position. Finley was never going to be a long-term solution.

There is nothing to see here, as Finley will continue to toil as a No. 2 or 3 quarterback in the NFL.
