PFT: Ty Law returning to Pats?

Veteran cornerback Ty Law may be looking to finish his career where he started it.

Butch Stearns of Fox 25 in Boston is reporting that the Patriots are close to a deal that would bring Law back to New England.

There had been on sporadic reports this off-season that Law, an unrestricted free agent, was looking to return to one of his former teams, either the Patriots or the Jets. But Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe reported yesterday that Law was content to wait things out, possibly until training camps open, to weigh his options. If Stearns’ report is correct, Law has now determined that the Patriots are his best option.

Although the 34-year-old Law isn’t the shutdown corner he used to be, he has started all 48 games in the last three seasons, two with the Chiefs and one with the Jets. He would lend a veteran presence to the Patriots’ secondary, which lost its top cornerback, Asante Samuel, to free agency.

Nors will be so happy that Law is on his team again.

I think he is in a dark bathroom after hearing this news.

Good, hopefully that takes them out of the early CB market.

NOOOOOO, we should take him and make him a safety !!

With a BIG box of tissues....

I can only hope that Law would make them not go CB in round one...allowing one more team to let one of the top guys slip toward us but I've got a feeling, even with Law, they're still going to draft Corner.

My first thought also. Well, after feeling good for Nors that is.

I don't see the Patroits "reaching" for a CB at #7. There isn't a CB in the draft that has value at #7, and the Patroits have never been known to reach with draft picks. Not to mention they REALLY need to add some youth to their LB corps as well.
