George Foster for Foote?

by Concomitandt on Apr 29, 2009 10:26 PM EDT

I read and post over at BehindtheSteelCurtain. I hated to barge in and slap up a fanpost, but the Larry Foote thread looked to be running down. In reference to my question above, I am wondering what adjustments would need to happen to make a trade like this work. Extra picks to us, or to you? Or straight up? It will never happen I suppose, since Foster is lightly regarded these days. But I like his body of work at Denver and suspect he has some greatness left in the right situation. Whaddaya say?

I would...

Take that straight up right now. However, to make the best decision I would want to realistically know the interest from other teams. We are set at RT and most here would love to have Foote.

I'd go straight up as well

2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

I heard Foote is mostly intrested in Arizona

Ken Wisenhunt ( Ex Steelers coach) plus 4 ex Steelers coaches on that staff
Wisenhunt runs the same defense as Steelers,they are more likely to have a good team..and 6 Steelers in the past 3 yrs have “migrated” there

Lions should just try to trade a 4th rounder for him ..he will be worth it

I've said it before, but this is getting ridiculous

Stop posting all of these “rumors” if you don’t have a source. Did you miss the story where Foote said “Detroit is always No. 1”? He said he wants to play for the Lions, so don’t give me this crap about how he’s interested in the Cardinals.

the "Detroit # 1 " was written by a Lions beat writer

i googled Foote to Arizona
seems like Steelers are trying to trade him to Zona or Indy
he says he wants to play for a winner

Foote said Detroit

He’s not directly interested in Arizona. The Steelers are only trying to trade him there, and that’s a slim chance at best. But I guess Foote isn’t a reliable source though. We have to believe some other source that’s only approved by the National Association of Unreliable Hunches.

Neither is posting a link once in a while

You can’t just spew stuff without backing it up.

Apparently

The Detroit Free Press, the Detroit News, and Larry Foote himself are not as reliable as the NFL network or Steelers.com. Actually, I could have sworn that I read that they were going to release him until they found out that he wanted to go to Detroit. Now they all of a sudden think that they can trade him when there was no interest before? Give me a break.

they should...

trade that extra 5th rounder they got from the Jets, but I guess they offered a 7th. With the guys they got in the 5th round this year or next for that matter, Foote would be a definate step up, but considering they have not 1 viable MLB on the roster, except for UDFAs. So, I’m not sure what their thinking is, do they realistically believe some converted OLB, is gonna be better than a guy who’s won to Superbowls?
