Football Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have brought back a familiar face, signing linebacker Larry Foote to a three-year contract through the 2012 season.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Foote spent his first seven seasons with the Steelers before becoming a salary cap casualty last spring. He then signed a one-year contract with Detroit in May and led the Lions with 99 tackles, including 70 solo, last season.

A foot injury ended his 2009 season after 14 games, stopping a streak of 94 consecutive starts dating back to 2004. He also finished with two sacks and one forced fumble last year.

The Steelers selected Foote in the fourth round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He started at inside linebacker in each of Pittsburgh's last two Super Bowl victories.

In 124 games, including 98 starts, the Michigan product has 612 tackles with 15 1/2 sacks, three interceptions, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
