The Lions and linebacker Larry Foote have agreed to terms on a one-year deal that brings the veteran to his hometown team.
Foote was released by the Steelers for salary cap reasons earlier this week.
"I'm excited because it's a fresh start for me," Foote told the Associated Press. "It's a one-year deal to show my talents, and hopefully end up signing a long-term deal after showing the Lions and their new coaching staff what I can do."
