You guys seem to be missing the boat here.
The question is whether Ty Law is happy, and the answer is NO because he is on a ****ty team.
As far as the chances of him genuflecting back on 'what could have been' if he remained a Patriot, that ain't gonna happen. Ty Law doesn't go there. Except to feel in his mind that he was right to move on because look at the Pats lately, they have lost in the playoffs without Ty.
Ty Law is not spending a single second wondering 'what if this' or 'what if that'. He has his money and he thinks that everybody knows how great he is. He thinks everyone knows he is better than Champ Bailey.
Maybe, just maybe, when he is old and gray and not in the HOF, it will occur to him that he should have stayed with the Patriots.
But just because some of us wanted him to stay is entirely irrelevant to his current state of mind. His view of us currently is along the lines of 'the Patriots FO disrespected me with their stingy offers....and now they can't win it all anymore without me.'
He also probably thinks that he has the upper hand because we failed to win the superbowl these last couple years and left the playoff in key situations where he thinks he could have made the difference. Ty probably feels that this increases his worthiness and bolsters the point of view that we should have paid him more money and that he was right to follow the free market.
You can't try to figure Ty's psychology out and at the same time somehow twist it around to be from our Patfan point of view. His point of view is very different than ours.
Sad his team sucks and not really thinking much about the Pats at all. After all, he has the peace of mind now that he can feed his family.
