Ty Law versus Randy Moss...

Try again

Try again

Listen your one of the few Jets fans i like to read stuff from.

But im telling you if you guys draft Darren McFadden you might as well kiss your ass goodbye. The guy is a malcontent.

Will he be great? Yes. BUt not good enough to destroy a teams chemistry to please one player. The guys ego is monstrous.

Im talking Godzilla King Kong and Cloverfield Monster all at a buffet monstrous.

If his ego is as big as you say it is then I hope we take a pass. I only know of him from what I saw on college saturdays but I have heard random incidents such as the bar room fight which resulted in a dislocated toe and rotoworld said he had a "could not care less attitude" at the combine when execs asked him about his history off the field. As long as he does not have a d#uche bag of the year ego I want him just for the sheer fact that the Jets have not had a playmaker on offense since Santana Moss and before that they are far and few between

Law will be back with the patriots

 

[NE39]

Doesn't sound like NY is thrilled about this development:

Ancient CB Ty Law, formerly of the Patriots, Jets and Chiefs, is making a free-agent visit Wednesday with the Jets, according to the NFL Network.

My two-word reaction: Oh, brother.

If the Jets sign Law, whom they released two years ago, it would reek of desperation. The Jets’ offseason already is starting to look that way, but this would be capper. Aside from the fact that he’s old (34) and slow, the once-great Law wouldn’t be a good locker-room guy.

In the 2005, the year it all spiraled out of control under Herm Edwards, Law acted like a prima donna and wasn’t a good influence around the younger players, I’m told. Sure, he knows Eric Mangini (they spent five years together in New England) and, yes, he’s friends with Darrelle Revis (a homey from Aliquippa, Pa.), but take my word for it: This wouldn’t work.

I always liked Ty myself. I wouldn't mind him back in NE.

Would a 2-year deal for Law be that bad of a thing? I want Hobbs, Webster, and L. Sanders on the bench.

Took me a minute to figure out that was Lewis Sanders...

I don't hate on Hobbs as much as others, he's a decent #2, and if the Pats change their corner style to be more physical, this could really help Ellis.

Ideally at S next year, I'd like Sanders at SS for coverage, Rodney for run stuffing. Rodney looks like age (and no HGH) will be his biggest hurdle and I like him in big nickel type stuff and for run downs. I'd give Merriweather the start at FS.

And it looks like a rookie will be competing for #1 CB.

** The best post I read in the draft forum was trading down with Minny and somehow picking up Antoine Winfield. I don't see them ever doing this, but wow, I'd piss my pants in delight.

Now that you admitted you haven't really seen him... He made close to $12M the last 2 years in KC, we had offered him $11M for the same time period. Corners don't come cheap, look what Randall Gay got. Ty says he's healthy and he wants to play for 3 or 4 more years. If he wants to be compensated as a starting corner for that entire time there is no way Bill brings him back. If he wants corner money this year and safety money for a couple of more years I think Bill would welcome him. But if he's ****ing around with his show me the money BS touring again, Bill will move on. Waited 3 months on him last time and it probably cost us some other moves that might have helped in 2006.

I'm not hopeful seeing as he was saying how pissed he claiming he was this season hearing all the talk about tainted championships. So interviewing with the little pissants that started all this crap isn't a promising sign that the important things ever change with Ty.

I wonder if he's still with the Poston's...they never leave a nickle on the table, even if it's a funny money nickle.

The teams that have had him since we let him go have all been less than thrilled with him overall, he is heavier by a lot than when he played with us, and he wants way more than he's worth at this stage of his career. Even Schefter was laughing about this "possible deal" yesterday - the guy is an old safety, an area we're fairly deep in, he's not a corner anymore healthy or not, as I said, he changes directions like a dragster. My guess is the FO is pushing up his value to eat up even more of the Jets Salary Cap, if he comes back to us for reasonable money, I'm sure there's a reason, but my gut tells me he's nowhere near playing for the Pats, and this is all a way to get the Jets to pay more for him. I guess time will tell. But if you think he's worth more than some of the players we're paying a LOT less than $5m per year, I think you're kidding yourself.

Please explain to me why you want Hobbs on the bench? He is our best CB on the roster right now....At this point in their careers I would prefer Hobbs to Law.

Hobbs had a good rookie year and a better sophmore year (considering the cast), he did struggle a little bit this year but considering some of the injuries that we have heard he had I would fully expect him to make a huge leap this year when healthy.

I really would like to get Ty back this year but not to start in place of Hobbs. IMO Ty would have a pretty defined role with this team. He would be a CB until Asante's replacement is ready and than he would be a big part of the sub packages and maybe even a little safety.

Ty Law versus Randy Moss...

I was thinking Ty Law vs. Noodlearm. Which is better or worse.

Sadly, Ty seems to be returning to form, instead of wraping up his career with a stronger HOF possibility by retiring with the Pats and being instrumental in acquiring yet another SB ring, he's instead apparently trolling the depths (Jets) hyping himself up for one last big payday. Maybe he spent all the previous money supporting his cousin.

His opportunities here have diminished in view of our present seeming depth at safety, a position I think BB had him slotted for as redundancy or fallback in his futile 2006 dalliance with Ty's agents. I would like a Seau-like opportunity to try him here at CB for a couple mill per year but his potential reward is not worth the risk and cap expense of a multi-year deal at real CB vet salary.

Next best to coming back here for a pre-HOF career finale would be him signing with the Jets at a cap busting number.

Why? Because I'd rather start Law and a high pick.

The old Ty is back, guess we haven't offered him enough.

Ty Law talks Pats, Jets
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff March 12, 2008 04:18 PM
Free-agent cornerback Ty Law said today that he’s been in contact with the Patriots, but at this point the Jets have shown more aggressive interest in him. Law visited with the Jets today.

Asked about his prior contact with the Patriots, Law said he had a “good conversation” with coach Bill Belichick.

“I’d say we’re definitely on good terms. He did express his interest in me coming there and I expressed mine, but I don’t know if it’s something that can get handled soon enough,” Law said.

Law noted that what the Patriots are currently willing to offer and what he is seeking are not "in agreement."

Meanwhile, Law touched on his visit to the Jets today, saying: “I’m familiar up here with New York and Eric [Mangini] and this system. They’re been aggressive and enthusiastic about getting something done.”

Law will be back with the patriots

Not unless they offer more than 31 other teams.

The Jets have approximately 4.5 mill left in the cap according to latest numbers, so it is unlikely they can offer he much more than the Pats. Since they do have high draft picks that might require significant cap space.
