The Steelers made LB Larry Foote a fourth round draft choice in 2002. He spent his first seven NFL seasons in the yellow and black before hitting free agency last season and choosing the Lions.
Larry Foote Heads Back To The Steelers
He spent the 2009 season in Detroit, which made sense from his perspective because he’s from the Detroit area. But after one lackluster season, Foote has decided to return to the Steelers.
SB Nation’s Lions community, Pride of Detroit, recognized some harsh words Foote had for the Lions but wished him luck in the upcoming season.
Three years is a lot more than Foote ever could have hoped for with the Lions, but I will wish him good luck with the Steelers if that is where he does indeed end up.
Foote’s second stint with the Steelers will mark his 9th year in the NFL.
[Update: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports it’s a three-year contract worth $9.3 million]
