Yikes

dan connor woudl be a decent signing

larry foote = ewwwwwwwwwwww

 

[TJ]

Wasn't he old the last time we pursued him in 2010?

Christ....

 

[Stout]

With the likes of Connor and Ellerby out there, I'd puke if we signed old man Foote.

 

[Lagerfilled]

LaCanfora is a friggin ******. The next time he's right about something will be the first. The Cards told ADub they were trying to get younger, so highly doubtful Foote is even a target.

 

[Buckybird]

If true so much for coaching the Stealers out of the Cardinals! Possibly Mendenhall, now this...I knew it was too good to be true.

We're sooooo gonna suck this year & probably many more to come.

I thought someone was bumping a thread from 2010

Might as well add Harrison to the group.

Arizona: where old Steelers go to get overpaid and ease into retirement. [see Joey Porter, Clark Haggans, Alan Faneca, Brian St. Pierre]

+1.

Horrible Idea

 

[joeshmo]

3 years younger then Lenon and had a solid year last year.

Ideal pickup, maybe not, but an upgrade over Lenon, without a doubt IMO.

Well, Foote is younger than Lenon .

 

[Snakester]

No way this happens. Keim would be laughed out of the office for even suggesting something so stupid.

I've been tooting the Ellerbe horn since December. He'll probably cost too much, but would be a great fit next to DWash. No thanks on Larry Foote.

Yeah. I wouldn't love the move but I can see the reason and he would be a cheap vet that fills a starting spot.

They had basically the same stats:
Foote 75 tackles 4 sacks 0 int 2 FF
Lenon 73 tackles 2 sacks 1 Int 1 FF

I agree he'd be an upgrade, by getting younger, but man it would be nice to get someone more dynamic in there to go w/ Dwash.

I agree. My thinking is that were going to draft an ILB and let him learn under a veteran.

Jeebus! I didn't think Arians, if anything, might be MORE prone to signing ex-Steelers.

 

[splitsecond]

I had to double check the date on this thread. Wtf?

LOL.

If it's a one year deal for less than $4M, then I guess it's fine. But what a joke.

 

[Chopper0080]

LOL.

If it's a one year deal for less than $4M, then I guess it's fine. But what a joke.

I would say a two year deal for less than 2mil per year. If anything else, a stupid signing.

In the end, we lost two players who were listed at ILB in Lenon and Bradley. We have to fill those two spots somehow.

Well, since we're getting rid of Bradley's ungainly number, we have a little more room to spread it out for a starter.

As for Bradley's roster spot? He was a special teams player who didn't get in with the base defense or sub packages. We're getting Reggie Walker back, who was the #2 ILB at both spots. I'm fine with replacing Stewart Bradley with an undrafted rookie free agent or 3rd day draft pick.

I personally think that we can replace Stewart Bradley with an empty thermos of Gatorade.

 

[Cheesebeef]

yeah... I'll laugh pretty hard if we got rid of Wiz and his over-reliance on washed up former Steelers only to bring in a coach who has an over-reliance on washed up former Steelers.

 

[JeffGollin]

Well, Foote is younger than Lenon .

But his knees are older.
