Larry Foote signs with Detroit (updated)

Somewhere I saw the Title
Steelers amputate Foote

Thought that was funny

Or in lieu of the one guy who cut his hand with a straight razor:

Steelers give Foote the boot.

I think we should definitely look into adding him though I don't know how well he'd fit our scheme, he's been an ILB in the 3-4 for most of his career.

This has nothing to do with his ability, Foote's a really good player, actually. It has everything to do with the fact that the Steelers believe Lawrence Timmons is going to be better than both Harrison and Woodley... which is scary quite frankly.

Again, Foote can play and play well but I don't know what the record is on guys who played in a 3-4 for their entire careers and then switch to the 4-3 or even what position he'd play for us.

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.

It's like we're brothers from a different mother lol.

He will end up with the Jets mark my words

He will end up with the Jets mark my words

Will the title of the article then read

Jets have Foote Fetish

?

I wouldn't be surprise; it would be good move for Jets.. I wonder how will Rex Ryan do with Jets defense, just as how will Ravens defense will do without him..

Hill is a better fit then Foot for the Skins. Foot is so so againest the pass. More a inside LB in a 3-4 D! As for cost isn't next season a uncap season most likley? So pay Hill what we can this year and make it bigger in 2010 were the cap is no longer in play!

He's solid. I'd be happy if he came here for a reasonable price -- even for just depth.

Edited the thread title for accuracy

If we spend 5th round picks on RBs turned LBs with shady pasts; why not a future 6th or 7th for a solid starter like Foote?
