    Larry Foote set to be cut by Steelers?

    I read on Pro Football Talk today that the Steelers are planning to release Larry Foote so to get his replacement Lawrence Timmons on the field.

    Pittsburgh Steelers set to release Larry Foote

    Can any Steelers fan or follower confirm if this rumor is true?

    I'm no Steelers fan but I've heard they've been looking at trading or releasing him for some time.

    I don't know for sure, but I'd guess this could be done because of the Steelers' cap situation.

        Foote has been vocal in saying he wants to come home to Detroit.

        Make it happen, Lions. You miserable excuse for a franchise. Do something right.

          I haven't heard anything about this, but it's been expected that Timmons is going to either have a 50/50 split with Foote or take over the position.

          Frankly, Timmons showed me more than Foote last year so I'm fine with Timmons as the starter. My only issue is it leaves a question as to the depth the Steelers would have at ILB.

              Yeah, it's a done deal now. Larry Foote is officially being set for release by Pittsburgh. And better yet, he still wants to come to Detroit.

              Larry Foote wants to join Lions

              Heh, this all seems like borderline tampering though.

                He will be missed... especially his sack celebration...

                He was set to make a lot of money and Lawrence Timmons appears ready to play on first and second down instead of just third. Basically a salary cap casualty.

                I am a little concerned about the linebacker depth now... actually, I was concerned BEFORE they got rid of Foote... Timmons was the only quality backup, and he was second string at all 4 LB positions.

                Interestingly, though, Foote is only the second starter--Bryant McFadden being the first--the Steelers have lost off the Superbowl Championship team from last season.

                    You won't be thanking anyone when athletic FREAK Lawrence Timmons is in there now, wreaking havoc on the Browns' offense.

                      Well, I guess it's a good thing that we finally have an Offensive line to slow the pass rush then.

                        Yep. Timmons showed me more than Foote last year. He's faster and stronger than Foote and could possibly be a better player over the course of a season. The biggest loss here is in regards to the Steelers depth at LB....it's not very good.

                        As for the Browns OLINE.... It's better, but othing Harrison and Woodley can't rip through many times a game.

                          We did not take an ILB, so I don't like this one. Unless we have someone to replace his depth with, I wouldn't do it. However, there may be some free agents we are looking at...

                            Getting Timmons and Woodley back to back has GOT to be some kind of draft record.

                              Apparently not cut yet.
