Lions plan to meet with Law today

With training camp only three days away, the Lions apparently are interested in making a pitch for four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law.

Lions vice president Bill Keenist confirmed Sunday evening that Law is scheduled to visit the team's headquarters in Allen Park today for a physical and a workout.

Law, 31, is recovering from a broken foot and subsequent surgery that cost him most of the 2004 NFL season. He was released by the New England Patriots, with whom he played 10 seasons, for salary cap reasons last spring.

Lions president Matt Millen met with Law in early May -- shortly after Law had begun running as part of his recovery program -- and maintained the Lions were still interested after they signed cornerback R. W. McQuarters on June 10.

Law, a former University of Michigan defensive back, reportedly turned down a four-year, $26-million offer from the Patriots a year ago and still has his sights set on a more lucrative deal. The Lions are one of eight teams believed to be interested in Law.

Lions veterans are scheduled to report for training camp Thursday with the first two-a-day workouts set for Friday.

I am on record as saying I would like the young guys we have to fight it out in camp. Law still looking for a job this close to camp- now with the Lions
