PatsFanTX Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 You heard it here first, both Ty Law and Troy Brown will be back in Pats uniforms when the season opens. "Law's agent, Carl Poston, met with the Chiefs at the February scouting combine and later told team officials that his client has a four-year, $26 million offer to return to the Patriots. The Chiefs can't verify that, but they aren't interested in paying big money unless they catch a break from the player in negotiations anyway." http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8314615 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanTX Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 why would the patsies* pay Law all that money if he failed his physical as reported? 13, I believe that is the original offer the Pats made to Law last year. They have never pulled it off the table. I'm sure it would be contingent on passing a physical somewhere down the road before a contract is finalized.

Maxman Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 No physical needed. Belichek can "scheme" around Law's wheelchair. I am thinking less man to man and more zone. This should compensate for the lack of lateral quickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be 35 years old in the final year. Only way I see some team beating the Pats offer is with a huge upfront signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Law's broken down a$$ is something better than what the Jets have at CB. Even in a dam wheelchair. Possibly, but that doesnt change the fact that New England absolutely does NOT need him. I hope the Pats keep him, but I highly doubt he is wearing anything but KC red next season.

YJF Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Why cut him when he is in a long term deal and then resign him to a long term deal? Was there any savings involved?

I don't blame The Pats for wanting to have Law back if healthy but why go through all the nonsense of cutting him. His cap number was going to be 12.1 million. He is 3.2 million in dead money, even if they balance out the contract is base salaries (i.e. 10 million bonus and 4 million per year), the Patriots are still 3 million ahead.

Unlike Milloy and or even his stance 12 months ago, Law did not burn any bridges when he left the team and was on the radio. If the offer is still on the table, I could see Belichick saying, if you can not get a contract you want, we still have one on the table. When Ty was here in KC a few weeks ago, he was walking around and did not appear to have any problems moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As evidence by the Pats secondary performance in the playoffs and the Super Bowl (do you have any idea what the Super Bowl is JonE?) Would I like to have Ty Law back for 4/26? You bet I would. Do the Pats need Ty Law to win another Super Bowl? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, a great clutch receiver in his hayday, but Ty Law could cover him in his wheelchair next year. My point is, the Patriots make the tough decisions for what is best for the organization while the Jets reward players for what they did in the past. barton, based on the two teams performances over the past 4 years, which team has the better philosophy about aging players?

Boozer76 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 One thing for sure, if the Pats sign Law, they sure as hell better sign Brown. They're gonna need someone to push his wheelchair aroun the field. Hey, do you think Belli and Kraft will get a rule passed that allows a 12th defender as long as he is always pushing a wheelchair?
