Watching the Saints dismantle the Chiefs last night and looking at the kind of season the Chiefs are facing as the team starts to deteriorate, I couldn't help but wonder that if he knew this would happen, what would Ty Law have done years ago when he had the opportunity to re-sign with the Pats???

As I recall, they made him a fairly generous offer at the time, but he turned them down only to later indicate before he left the team for good that if the same offer was on the table, he'd remain a Patriot. I believe I have this correct.

The question now is whether Ty is truly happy with his place in KC or does he wish deep down that he'd like to be back in the fray with his friends and teammates vying for the playoffs. As many observed, his HOF chances were diminished once he moved away from the Patriots. He certainly will no longer be in the headlines with his current team.

Thoughts?

No, I believe the question is, "HOW HARD AM I F-ing LAUGHING?" ONCE AGAIN a professional athlete finds out the hard way that money - especially at this level - isn't everything. Hope you're having fun, Ty. So much for the HOF, huh?

maybe he can pull a rod woodson and turn into a safety and come back to us after harrison retires!

Too bad for both parties, as he could have made the difference in one or two more championships as we were hurting so bad in the defensive backfield. If he played halfway close to his previous healthy years we probably wouldn't be looking at Manning gracing every magazine cover.

If Law had been here, at his multi-millions cap cost
... who else would not have been here?

He may not admit it now, but one day he will definitely regret and wonder, "what if...".

The Hall of Fame issue, if it plays out that way, which is likely, will stick with him forever.

Asante should look at Ty's situation and realize greed isn't such a good thing.

Let's face reality. Money is everything to most professional football players.

For every Ty Warren, Matt Light, Dan Koppen, and Tom Brady; there are

ten Deon Branches, David Givens, Daniel Grahams, Damien Woodys, and

Ty Laws. Show them the money. Championships don't feed their families.

I often think about how disappointing it was that Law chose not to come back when he had a chance. He was always one of my favorite Patriot players throughout his career and I can remember following him since his days at Michigan.

I hope that he regrets his decision, b/c he should. It was a very stupid one considering the point in his career he was at.

I wonder if anyone has the exact dollar amount he has gained in the past few years by playing in NY and KC instead of here.

This amount would be salaries earned compared to alleged salaries offered by NE, playoff $$, etc.

Thanks in advance for that info.

Maybe it's just me, but I would would choose personal success, playing with close teammates and a lot of money over less success and more money.

But, I tend to side with the Koppen and Warren attitudes as opposed to the greedy types.

I think that Ty wanted to play for Herm, more than anything else. His coaching abilitites aside, Herm seems to be a great guy, and you have a hard time finding anyone who has a bad thing to say about him personally.

The Chiefs are going to be awful this year.
