Arizona Cardinals to add Larry Foote to coaching staff, though he may still play in 2015

Last season, linebacker Larry Foote was almost like a coach on the field for the Arizona Cardinals.

It’s possible in 2015 he’ll be a coach on the sideline.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, as a guest of SiriusXM NFL Radio Thursday morning, said the team is going to keep Foote around no matter what.

Foote, who will be 35 when the next season begins, led the team with 105 total tackles last season, while adding two sacks, one interception and two passes defensed. He played in 994 of 995 defensive snaps prior to missing the team’s Week 17 matchup with San Francisco due to injury.
