Cardinals Interested in Larry Foote?

LB Larry Foote had obligations last week so look for things to start picking up for him. Watch the Cards, who showed interest in him last yr

He is 33 and should be cheap.

Missed almost all of 2013 with a torn triceps injury. But yes there has been interest in the past and BA knows him well.

 

[Lagerfilled]

I hope not!

 

[GuernseyCard]

Not enthused, but we need a vet backup for Minter.

 

[PJ1]

No thanks.

 

[Shane]

Ughhhh

 

[Iceman]

No thanks

Got to be better players out there than him. I don't see anyone signing him.

Foote was placed on injured reserve in early September 2013 with a torn biceps. Pittsburgh's leading tackler in 2012, Foote will turn 34 in June

 

[Catfish]

This is a sign that the Cards are getting better. Last year he was one of the team's interests. This year he doesn't seem to be so.

 

[Stout]

He still has game left in him. A small contract to bring him in as an insurance policy would be a good idea.

Agree

He's a cheaper Brinkley with a world of experience in a 3-4.

Never been big on the often overstated 'mentoring' but someone has to help Minter deal with the responsibilities.

So you prefer the unknown rather than the known.

Something I try to avoid.

it depends of the known

I absolutely see us signing this guy. He could get a resurgence similar to how John Abraham played last year. A lot of people wrote him off as too old and he played extremely well. I see no reason why Foote can't do the same. 34 is old, but he still has a couple good years in him left before he finally loses it.

Please list the plethora of player playing at 34 that still had a couple of "good" years left in them at 34 in the NFL not counting QBs?????? There have been a rare few and they were usually special players. Larry Foote was never special. There is a reason 34 is considered old in the NFL.

mmm,,abraham is a future hall of famer,u cant compare abraham signings last year with eventually foote signing.

I can understand the interest. Foote allows you to add veteran depth at ILB while not having to pay much more than the vet min.

Paris Lenon and Yeremiah Bell and John Abraham.

Plus, if he plays well, he know the Browns will overpay for him next year after they cut Dansby.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Still makes one wonder if the Brinkley cut was a bit premature and predicated on Dansby re-signing. A misstep perhaps?

 

[football karma]

the report speculates on interest --- and purely as a function that the Cards were interested last year

however; last year, they hadnt drafted Kevin Minter yet and were in the dark on a Washington suspension

 

[GuernseyCard]

Somers says the team has shown no interest in him.
