Well, I've always wanted Law back in a Pats uniform, and he's always scorned me...maybe I should just realize that he's using as as a ploy for more money and that he doesn't fit here right now...unless he really wants to retire a Patriot and still can be effective as a role player...

I don't question what he has left in him, the dude is still good.

I just think he'll certainly take the most money that's all, and I just don't see us offering it. Then again, there still has to be more to the Hobbs trade, IMO.

I still think that we'll sign a decent vet somewhere.

If Law is the man, then why in hell did the Pats invest in

Bodden, Butler, Chung, McGowan, and Springs?

I don't think he is the type of guy you bring in as a 4th S. In terms of that role ST are critical, and Ty isn't going to offer what McGowan or someone else does there.

Law was abused in that game pretty much every time he had one-on-one coverage. What the Jets did was put Revis alone and give Law help.

Word up is no interest from BB. He'd already drafted his backup NT.

Signing Law makes about as much sense as re-signing Seau or Colvin or any other athlete past thier prime - This team is much better stacked in the secondary than in recent years.

If Law wants to sit by the telephone and wait for BB to call him if injuries become a problem then he might be worth a dial under desperate circumstances,Otherwise let another team use his older slower ass.

I think they brought in these players to improve a very deficient secondary, but that doesn't mean they will all pan out either.

FWIW--I see no way in hell that Law comes here, but bringing up these 5 guys can't be much of an argument.

Bodden and McGowan could be for competition/depth--and aren't locked in stone

Chung, and Butler are rookies--they have to learn the defense, and earn some playing time on 5-6 DB situations. They aren't day one immediate answers, although I'm sure they'll be good players and have 'some' roles further on in the yr

And Springs--well, I think we're all hoping he's now gonna be a day 1 starter, but he may not be the absolute answer either

Ty Law got his just reward last year playing for the Green Beans instead of the Patriots. Has he even played in a playoff game since leaving New England?

Have we won a Super Bowl since he left?
