I find that pretty interesting.
Either Law is flat out lying, which raises the question of why?
To ingratiate him with new teammates?
Because he was embarrassed to accept the one-year pro-rated veteran minimum?
He said "I will always love the Patriots" so it doesn't seem like it's about sticking it to the man.
Or he is telling the truth, which raises the question of why he would choose the Jets.
He said he was theeeeese close to signing with the Pats.
Then he said he was offered more by the Pats.
He's one INT away from setting the New England record for INT's, and the Jets and Pats are tied in the division.
Recognize that Law is normally, and blatantly, all about the money.
And he will tell you that.
"I am the CEO of Ty Law Inc."
He sees the NFL as a business, and he is a businessman.
If he has two customers offering different amounts of money for his services, he chooses the one offering more.
So, if he didn't in this case, then why?
People raise the issue of usage. But the Patriots are all about being creative in how they use defenders. Recall that Law and Harrison used to switch off positions, almost just for fun. Then one would drop and one would cover the flat. DB's blitz. DB's drop into the LB role. With Harrison and Wheatley out, Wilhite demoted, and O'Neal starting at corner, there is all sorts of opportunity.
Very interesting.
