Hat Trick Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 How's his leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charty Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 From Peter King's MMQB The question is where. "I had a good workout in Jacksonville,'' he said. "They told me, 'Play corner,' and I went and did all the drills -- plant, cut, do every angle you can possibly do, sprint. I was fine. Now Miami wants me to come back and visit. But if you can't afford Patrick Surtain [who was dealt to Kansas City in April], how can you afford me? The Jets are interested. Kansas City called again. Tampa Bay faxed an offer. Indianapolis is in it. I got an offer, sight unseen for $2.5 million for one year. If I wasn't ready, I'd just take it. But I'm going to be ready to play and that's not the kind of contract I should get. Before they signed Surtain, the Chiefs gave me, like, a $42 million offer. But it was structured so bad that I'd probably only make $10 million before they'd cut me. So I didn't do it.'' But making a judgment on Law now is difficult. One coach of an interested team told me, "I want to wait to see what he looks like right before camp, if he's still on the street, before we commit to making him an offer. He's 31, coming off a major injury, and he's still not 100 percent. If we do anything, it won't be for a lot of money.'' In fact, this coach told me (and this is a coach who needs a corner) his team would probably offer Law only the minimum. But will any team out there offer Law, say, $6 million to sign, as part of a four-year, backloaded, heavily incentived deal? I think that's what would be fair if and only if you trust him to give you a couple of healthy years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinatieri Is God Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I liked the guy in NE for all those years so I'm not going to bad mouth him too bad, but Ty Law will demand top dollar because he thinks he is the best in the business. Completely healthy, maybe he's got a case. But unless some GM is willing to shell out ridiculous cash and pray every night that he is anywhere near where he used to be before the injury, Ty will have to take less than he thinks he's worth or else sit out.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 this kinda befuddled me: I told Law there were people in the NFL world who were worried that he'd gotten fat from all his inactivity. "I heard that,'' he said. "You know, I went six months non-weight-bearing. (Meaning he couldn't put any weight on his foot.) I usually report to camp at 200 and play at around 205. Being non-weight-bearing, I was probably on the plus side of 220, but I never weighed myself. Who's not going to gain some weight when you can't put any weight on your leg for half a year? I was bedridden, basically. Come on. I can't recall an offseason where my weight didn't go up anyway, and I never was overweight entering training camp.'' ty always comes into camp in great shape..always pretty cut..his offseason routine was featured in the si players section of the magazine last year..hes been training in the offseason with jackie joyner kersees husband bob for the last 4 or 5 years i think whoever lands him..will be getting someone very hungry..hungry to make money and hungry to prove himself..some guys are capable of wanting both i really think hell end up play for herm or tony dungy if they can hammer something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Lions signed RW McQuarters instead of staying in the race for him. That's got to be a little telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Here's the latest. Clipped from: SI.com editorial by Peter King, 6/27/05 Link Where's Ty Law going to play this year? "I'm going to be the best cornerback in football this year,'' Law told me the other night, from his home in Aliquippa, Pa., after returning from a workout with the Jaguars. "I'm just not sure where that's going to be yet.'' The next three weeks are going to be absolutely dead in footballville. Bill Belichick will be on his beloved Nantucket. Brian Billick disappears to the wilds of Minnesota. Bill Parcells goes to the barns at Saratoga Race Course at dawn. Fred-Ex Mitchell's going to Brazil. And so on. Coaches will start filtering back to work between July 18 and July 25. (This column will take the next three weeks off too, and reappear July 25, the day I leave on my 17-day training-camp odyssey.) Until then, not much will happen in the NFL. Except some teams will flirt with Ty Law. "I'm still the best out there until someone proves he's better,'' he said. Well, that's debatable. Highly debatable. Last time we saw Law, he was limping off the field in Pittsburgh on Halloween afternoon with a serious foot injury. He had suffered a fracture in his left foot, which healed by late in the season, but also had a Lisfranc ligament sprain, which didn't heal and which Law claims was not diagnosed by the Patriots medical staff. It wasn't until he went to see Dr. Mark Myerson, one of the country's foremost foot and ankle specialists (he operated on Terrell Owens after T.O.'s ankle injury last season), that Law learned he had the ligament sprain. "If it had been diagnosed on time,'' Law told me, "I'd have been ready for someone's minicamp. But now I'm about 85 percent and I know I'll be fine for training camp.'' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mr. King is one of the most connected writers in the league so you'd do well to pay attention here. Those of you holding Law on your bench might want to note his "85%" statement. If nothing else, it indicates just how serious his foot injuries were - it'd be good to have a backup plan at DB/CB on your IDP squad if Law is one of your players.
