Arian Foster Still Searching for New Home

Arian Foster was brilliant during his time with the Texans. He owns basically every one of the team’s rushing records after going undrafted out of Tennessee. A knee injury his senior year prevented him from being drafted, as he was one of the top running back prospects as a junior.

Since he was released by the Texans this offseason, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news on the Foster front. There was a report that he met with the Dolphins, but since then little else. It would be ironic if he signed with the Dolphins after it looked like he had played his last down of football in Miami last October and would replace the guy who ran all over the Texans that day, Lamar Miller, who came to Houston in free agency.

Who else might be interested in the 30-year-old running back? Well, we might have a couple more possibilities for him.

The first is a franchise that has taken on a lot of veteran players that are searching for championship. Considering how awful their running game was last season, I don’t see why the New England Patriots wouldn’t at the least inquire about him.

"Even though he is still unsigned, the latest rumors are saying that former Houston Texans running back Arian Foster could join the Patriots.As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Foster has been linked to the Patriots for over a month. After visiting the Miami Dolphins and leaving without a contract, news has been fairly quiet regarding Foster and his future. Foster will turn 30-years-old in August, so he is not exactly young for a running back. In addition to his age, Foster is becoming more and more prone to injuries as the years go on. Regardless of his age and injury concerns, Foster is still an extremely productive running back when healthy."

The other team that is rumored to potentially be interested is the Pittsburgh Steelers:

"While Labriola obviously thinks Foster coming to Pittsburgh is far-fetched, it might not be. While Foster probably still wants to be a featured back (when the led the league in rushing in 2010), he might be open to coming to town as a back up to Williams and Bell. Foster also probably understands that he will most likely need to prove himself fir in a smaller role before anyone would consider him in an expanded role anytime soon."

So where will Foster end up? New England, Pittsburgh, somewhere else or is he done playing football? Personally, I don’t think he’s done, but he may not be signed until training camp, when an injury forces a team to go out and sign another back.
