Barton Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2107829 Updated: July 14, 2005, 2:08 PM ET Jets also taking another look at Law By John Clayton The Jets are aggressively trying to fix the cornerback position on reports that Donnie Abraham is once again thinking about retiring. They acquired cornerback Pete Hunter from the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional pick, believed to be a seventh-rounder, Thursday. Hunter, who started six games over three seasons with the Cowboys, was in the process of moving to safety before the trade. The Jets also have resumed conversations with former Patriots cornerback Ty Law. Law has the interest of eight teams, but he is still hoping for a $6 million a year contract. The Jets' interest in Hunter started about six weeks ago. He will work at right cornerback on the other side of David Barrett. At 6-feet-2, 208 pounds, Hunter is a big cornerback who can be physical. He passed his physical Thursday, which finalized the trade. Last year, Hunter suffered a season-ending knee injury and went on injured reserve Sept. 30. A restricted free agent, Hunter signed a one-year tender to stay with the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
