Larry Foote signs with Detroit (updated)

I think this is more about Lawrence Timmons then a cap cut. Timmons could walk in and start on a lot of teams in the NFL yet he's been on the Steelers bench for a couple of years.

Yeah, Timmons and LaMar Woodley are monsters.

If he can play sam linebacker we should sign him.

He would be a cheaper signing than Hill and can be as productive.

From what I know about the guy, he is a middle linebacker. He also has said he wants to play in Detroit.

Well another team did cut him, so we certainly should bring him in. Let Danny spend money on him, that way we can have some more FO Bashing if he doesn't pan out.

I am not saying we should or shouldn't. It just amazes me, we just spent a draft trying to bring in some guys that might contribute as LB's and the FO gets bashed for not meeting a need. Another team releases a LB that does not meet the exact need, and who we have a good track record of, and the reaction is knee jerk to go get him. If a starting OT gets released then call me, as for LB, lets get MW back, and go forward with the ones we are building.

Will you please stop making sense? How can I bash the FO when you talk like that?

Another funny thing is that people bitch about not getting an offensive lineman in the draft, yet they're jumping the gun on a defensive FA.

I think You have a point about Timmmons.. He's alot quicker and less money.

When I first read the title I saw it as Larrys Foot Cut.
