How many kids does this guy have? Perhaps we don't know the "rest of the story".

I can't remember which blog it was, but I'll look.

If Law is truly looking for that kind of money, he'll be waiting a while.

But for all those that say he's slow and fat, I encourage you to look into Football Outsider's prospectus and note that his numbers fare quite well. He has a good success rate, a lot of pass deflections and is still quite strong in run support. According to the stats at least.

I remember 2 blogs about this very amount - 1 I know was just a guess from our very own SMY but the other is the one blog I am trying to locate which says the same type of contract Law is seeking in that price range

I hate when I lose an article,I read this on Sunday and just thought about it since it definately is worth mentioning - Google did not help me locate it

Brett who? Thought he played for the Packers.

Yikes, I've missed a lot!

How was our preseason? Na - forget it, I'll just watch the regular season.

Is Poston Ty's agent? - That would explain the inflated asking price

Not doubting that you read it, I just think these blogs have a way of getting conjecture mixed up with fact.

At successfully catching passes slinged by Favre? I think Brandon will be the only one who's tested by that task.

Hmmm..so many have said that Ty will be here that he wants to play here...BUT as I said..they have done this dance before...and will not happen...THIS to me confirms it...

I don't think Law is worth that kind of money.

I do still wish we could sign him for something more reasonable though.

I understand it when no proof is actually shown via link to prove the topic is legit so if some are sceptical about this I respect that,I will still try and locate it where I decided it was interesting enough to generate a laugh from us who know Law is not worth that type of dough.

I wish Ty would have said this on ESPN or something that would make it easier to find than on a blog on the net filled with millions of others.
