Lions to sign ex-Steeler
Larry Foote is on the verge of becoming a Lion. Foote, who was released by the Steelers this week, met with the Lions management and coaches today and was offered a one-year deal. He and the Lions have agreed on the contract value but were still finalizing the payment schedule and guaranteed portion of the deal tonight. "It's like 90% done," Foote said. Foote, who played for Detroit Pershing and the University of Michigan, is scheduled to take a physical for the Lions this morning.

My question is, was this the plan all along?
It certainly makes passing on Curry and Rey make a whole lot of sense...
It would give me a lot of hope that the new regime stands a chance...

You've got to respect the fact that they're loyal fans of their team, Chico. I know, I can relate. I'm a Browns fan.

Man is going home to try and help the team he grew up with and get more playing time. I for one say thank you for your service to the Steeler nation and good luck in Detroit

Hate to see Larry go but he'll tremendously help out that defense . Can step in as the leader in the middle and give them something they've been lacking for awhile.

Classy comment by classy fan of classy franchise. This is a great story about going home and it's great for Detroit and their fans.
Detroit deserves a huge injection of good luck after the Milllen Holocaust.

I like what the Lions did in the draft. They went after talented football players. Stafford was a given, most winning QBs in Superbowls were first round picks. MOST... Manning , Manning, Rothlesberger,....People only look at the ones that did not work out....Pettigrew is the best TE in a long time to come out of the draft....gooood move...get talent when you cajn...regardless of the position....foote is a great signing...Like Parcells always said, you are either getting better or you are getting worse, nobody stays the same...The Lions are getting better..
