hmmm.. either connor is out, or ILB in the draft is out..

[steelblood]

a Three year deal? hopefully there is very little guaranteed.

[supersteeler]

Good for Larry, he doesn't get the death sentence to AZ.

[Steelhere10]

WOW I wonder who is running this show, other teams are getting younger yet the Steelers are getting older!

[steelz09]

3 years... Let's start our recruiting in retirement homes.

Tomlin has to at least cling to some of Cowher's players. He has little to none of his own players that can replace them.

The Steelers probably had to give Foote some sort of bonus to keep him from going to AZ, and the length of the deal could have been for purposes of spreading the cap hit.

The Steelers did not over pay...

We have no depth at ILB...gotta have somebody, and everyones
Favorite back up, Sylvester, is gone...

Its a good move as a backup..

Yes, if the intent is to have him for depth. Otherwise this smacks in the face of what Colbert said about expecting a different result than 8-8 with the same guys.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Safe to say the 3rd year is just a year to carry the signing bonus. Can't wait to see the numbers.

[steelz09]

First year of deal = 2.5 MILLION?!?!

That is highway robbery and a moronic signing. Nice work Steelers coaching and FO.

I thought Foote played solid and had good numbers. I'm not mad at this at all.

[Siggy00]

Be a good fan. Support the team and FO.

The phrase "same old, same old" is getting very literal in Pittsburgh right now.

It's a terrible signing at 2.5 million for this year alone.
