From the Daily Turd:
LAW STILL WAITING FOR PAYDAY
A league source tells us that, while several teams remain interested in acquiring the services of former Pats cornerback Ty Law, no one is offering Law anything more than the veteran minimum.
Word is that, earlier in the offseason, Law's agents told one of the teams courting the talented-but-injured cover man that there was an offer on the table averaging $6 million per year.
If there ever were such an offer (and we doubt that there was), it's long gone now.
Instead, Law is left to choose among teams like the Steelers, Dolphins, and Jaguars, Chiefs, and Browns for his next destination.
So the question becomes whether one of the interested teams will sweeten the pot a little bit in order to win his services. Our guess is that the teams will hold firm in their current offers, and wait for Law to make a selection.
And if that's where it all ends up, we predict that Law will land with the Steelers. Law grew up, after all, in the 'Burgh, and the Steelers use the 3-4 defense with which he has grown comfortable over the years. Besides, many think that the Steelers will be squaring off with the Pats again for a trip to Super Bowl XL -- and Law surely would love to be the difference maker in the game that would disrupt New England's run for an unprecedented third straight Lombardi.
Of course, if Law can be had for only a minimum deal, other teams might look to get involved. The Colts, for example, might conclude that Law could help them get over the hump against the Patriots. The Packers still need help in the defensive secondary, as do the Rams and several other NFC teams.
Heck, if Law can be had for a one-year minimum deal, why wouldn't the Tuna give him a call? It was Bill Parcells, after all, who selected Law in round one of the 1995 draft while coaching the Pats.
