"Linebacker Larry Foote has signed a one-year deal with his hometown Detroit Lions, two days after being released by the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers (Sportsline)."
I am a little surprised about this. I thought Foote would want to go to a team that has a chance to win next year, but his hometown is Detroit, so I guess it makes sense. This is a great singing for the Lions especially since it is such a short contract, no real risk on their part. I was hoping Foote would come to the Patriots, but I guess this is just another guy they decided not to go after. It will be interesting to see how Foote does without a good defensive line in front of him. Even the best of LBs usually struggle if their defensive line struggles.
