Larry Foote has spent 11 seasons in the NFL. He may need to stick around a few more years.

According to the Associated Press, the Steelers linebacker claims that he was tricked into investing more than $400,000 in a Michigan valet service.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Foote says that he was approached in 2010 by one of two persons who claimed that money was needed to fund major valet contracts.

Foote is due to earn a base salary of $3 million in 2012.
