Ty Leans Toward Jets

Ty leans toward Jets

Ty Law likes the idea of playing for the Jets.

Free-agent cornerback Ty Law, who said Monday that he's "very interested" in the Jets, also indicated that he expects to pay a visit to Weeb Ewbank Hall to take a physical and work out for team officials.
It appears to be just a matter of when.

Jets GM Terry Bradway, who acknowledged last week that the team is showing interest in the former Patriots All-Pro, said yesterday through a team spokesman that "we don't have anything on the calendar for Ty Law to visit."

But the calendar can change. It's believed the Jets, without a clear-cut starter at left cornerback, will invite Law to Hofstra for a look-see before engaging in serious negotiations.

Law, trying to convince teams that he's 100% after a serious foot injury, visited the Lions Monday for the second time. While tossing the obligatory compliments to the Lions, Law also told the Detroit media, "I'll work out for New York and I'm actually very interested in New York as well."

When asked if there was a possibility he'd be playing for the Jets, Law said, "Very much so."

The Jets, Lions, Jaguars and Chiefs appear to be the most serious suitors. The Lions reportedly will make an offer. Law is believed to be seeking around $6 million a year, but no one seems to be willing to meet his asking price - not yet, anyway.

The Jets open camp tomorrow. Right now, the left-cornerback position - vacant because of Donnie Abraham's recent retirement - is wide open, according to coach Herm Edwards. The candidates are Ray Mickens, recently acquired Pete Hunter and rookie Justin Miller.

what's funny his he just came from a team where last year Law supposdly suppose to come down here and play for us? Now Law i suppsodly looking to come down there and play, man he just cant get away can he?

Poor Pete!!

Can he beat out Justin Miller, second round rookie out of Clemson the Jets have termed a 'project' and who they don't expect to figure as more than the 4th or 5th cb?

Of course.

Can he beat out Ray Mickens, a good ten year career nickel back, but who spent last year on IR with an ACL injury? Well, Mickens is exactly 5'8" and Tuna always used to promise him (wink, wink) he could 'compete' for a starting position, but Ray wasn't going to beat out Aaron Glenn, and he wasn't going to complement him either as both are about as high as coffee tables. Now, years later, this guy ain't gonna start.

Pete could beat him out too.

A bummer for "Big Game" Hunter if Law signs in NY.

But at least, unlike here, the Jets need Ty Law.

DK, Law was never supposedly supposed to come down and play for us, so Pete isn't getting double whammied.
