Apparently, Larry Foote is on the verge of being released by the team. According to Foote, the choice is his to leave.
Either way, we’re losing a solid football player. That being said though, Lawrence Timmons is a beast. From the way he played last season, Timmons is a one-man wrecking crew and he’s only going to get better. Foote was being slowly phased out of the starting lineup anyways.
On one hand, this works for the Steelers because it will free up some cap room. Apparently they couldn’t get a trade worked out to move him to a team where he could start. I’m a little surprised Detroit wasn’t interested, since they need players everywhere and Foote is a Michigan guy.
If he leaves, he will be missed, but I’m not very concerned about the overall state of the linebacking unit. Donovan Woods will be back from injury and should be a capable backup to Timmons. Timmons needed to start anyways. He was too good not to have on the field every play.
