Foote gald his deal with Detroit was just for one year

Larry Foote has been pretty vocal about his happiness about being back in the Steel City, and MLive.com today talked about how he has also been bashing the Lions at the same time, going so far as to say that he’s glad he didn’t sign a real long deal there:

Despite all the hugs and kisses when he arrived in Detroit last season, Larry Foote let his feelings about the Lions be known when he recently signed a three-year deal with his original team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. “You can’t really explain it until you go through it,” he said. “You talk about dog days. Those were dog days, especially being a competitive person and losing. But I made some good relationships and it was good going home playing there. I’m just glad I’m back and thank God I didn’t sign a longer deal there.” Foote spent his previous seven years with the Pittsburgh Steelers – winning two Super Bowl rings – and was part of a well-tuned machine in which Foote knew exactly where he needed to be at all times.
