Miami bringing in Reuben Foster for workout
- Thread starter Finfan83nj
- Start date
If he’s healthy, sign him up!!
He was released from the 49ers after several arrests and at the time of his release, Shanahan stated he was a difficult player to trust.
He hasn’t played in three years but hopefully he has matured and his illegal activities are behind him. I doubt he has much to offer after not playing for three years and having had a serious knee injury but I guess they figure they have nothing to lose bringing him in for a look.
He isn’t the high character type of player I prefer but I’m not the person making decisions on who they sign or bring in for visits.

Given the SF connection, fully confident in coach mikes judgement.
Why not? Obviously any deal will likely be a veteran minimum and a prove it kind of deal with no guaranteed money. Worth kicking the tires.

We need better LB's
Would it not be sad if this guy came in and became our best LB. Cause it could happen

High upside low risk (likely small contract) at a position of need.

Right. A character bust so far. But who knows, maybe he's matured. Definitely was talented coming out of Alabama.

**** if his knee if all good why not bring him in for a test run. No harm no foul in letting a guy try to earn his way back into the NFL if he is healthy and able.
Actually it wouldn’t be sad at all. Baker and Phillips are both very good LB’s, while Foster would be competing against Roberts at the inside LB position. So while I doubt he would be the best LB on the team. He just has to be better than Roberts to be able to make the team and upgrade the LB unit.

An absolute terror at Bama and one of the best coverage lbs I've ever seen. Has to get his head right and stay of the troubles. Make it easy to cut him if he slips again and I'm all for it. Had work outs last year and didn't get signed which is strange.
