I bet he sign with Jets
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Talks are getting serious between the Jets and free-agent cornerback Ty Law, and if he passes a physical and is impressive during an upcoming workout, he'll likely sign with the club, according to someone with knowledge of the negotiations.
Presumably Law will lower his asking price, which is reportedly $6 million to $7 million per season, or the Jets will satisfy his demands in another way, perhaps with more upfront money.
"Ty is just waiting for some of this two-a-day stuff to pass," said the person. "He's smart."
The Jaguars, Lions and Chiefs are also interested, but the Jets seem to have the inside track because of Law's close relationship with coach Herman Edwards, running back Curtis Martin and defensive back coach Corwin Brown, who played with Law in college (Michigan) and the NFL (Patriots).
Martin, who played with Law at New England and remains close to him, didn't deny he was recruiting him.
"I've spoken to him a few times," Martin said with a smile. "We're friends. We hang out together."
