Larry Foote signs with Detroit (updated)
 

[URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/28/steelers-cutting-larry-foote/"]according to PFT[/URL] so grain of salt... Could be decent depth and he's only 28.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

might as well give him a look (if this is true). i'd think he must be a cap casualty, unless he's injured.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

He's alright. Worth a look.

I don't know that it's official yet, but yeah it would be a cap casualty. So I think they may re-sign him at some point, but I think I also heard he wants to play close to home (Detroit)

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

Its nothing wrong with adding depth as long as its not at the cost of the cap

He must hate himself

Pitt is close enough, I guess GB would be too, unless he just thinks he'd get more money in Detroit

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

Kind of a weird time to cut a guy for cap space, no?

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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.

That's a really good point

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

he'd be a nice addition

Yeah, Timmons and LaMar Woodley are monsters.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

If he can play sam linebacker we should sign him.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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.

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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.

He will end up with the Jets mark my words

Will the title of the article then read

Jets have Foote Fetish

?

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

[quote=NYCskinfan82;552667]He will end up with the Jets mark my words[/quote]

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..

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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!

re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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

Re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

Edited the thread title for accuracy

Re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

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?

Re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

Foote wants to go to Detroit. So has he been cut?

On a separate note, I present to you the most common names misspelled in the Warpath (I just saw someone spell Foote = Foot, LOL.):

Carlos Rogers = Carlos Rodgers
Kedric Golston = Kedric Gholston
Reed Doughty = Reed Doughtry

(This is my own version of "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty") LOL. :)

The one that drives me crazy is when people say Jon Jensen.

Re: Larry Foote Could be Cut Soon by Steelers
 

Alridge has been misspelled a lot, but there's not even a jersey with his name on it at the time so no big deal

I'm not sure about on here but I still see the occasional "cambell" "randel el" "malcom" etc etc etc
