Default Reiss: Law: Will be released, seeks $10 mil. in bonuses

Law seeks $10m
Posted By: mreiss | Time: 07:32:06 AM

Former Patriots cornerback Ty Law told Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock that he's seeking around $10 million in guaranteed, bonus money in his next contract.

Such a figure, assuming another team would pay it, would mean Law's potential free-agent return to the Patriots is unlikely.

Law, in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl, also said he expects the Jets to release him within the coming weeks.

With the Patriots attempting to negotiate higher-end contracts with Richard Seymour and Deion Branch within the next year, the team likely wouldn't invest such a high figure in Law.

As much as I like #24, Seymour and Branch are better value for this team. Good luck to Ty wherever he winds up.

Come on guys, did we really expect anything less? Ty Law is a business man. He's all about the money. There is nothing wrong with that, I don't blame him at all for trying to make as much money as he can. But I never believed that he would come back here for sentimental reasons. Unless the Patriots are willing to meet his demands, Law is not coming back here.

He STILL wants tons of money I see. This guy may be a helluva football player, but he's no Tedy Bruschi.

No offense, but he has three Super Bowl rings, what else is left for him but the money? Would BB want him back?? I am not sure he would, if he thought Ty was worth the cash last year he would have made sure his offer to Ty was one that he couldn't refuse.....Besides, if Ty wanted to stay, he would have made the sacrifices BB wanted in order for him to stay here, like Tommy and Willie have done!!!

I would love to see him wind up with the Raiders......a perfect fit!

i never thought there were possibilities about one eventual Ty Law return in Patriot uniform - so: no surprise at all.

but: thks to him for what he has done in our uniform.

Early in Law's career shutting down a team's main receiver was crucial to victory. Offenses have changed alot since then, more diversification. Also Safties and Linebackers being so much more athletic aid in the pass defense game.

So, does any team really need to spend a huge amount of $$$ to have a shut-down corner? Correct me if i'm wrong but none of the final 4 teams this year made it there due to their shut down corner...they made it there with excellent QB's, RB's and LB's....Law is looking for an idiot to sign him....chances are it will be a wanna-be team if any at all.
