udonkey Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I just got off the phone with TD. He, too, wants you to jump off a bridge. He said nothing about Ty Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirius Radio confirmed it on one of their talk shows. There's also speculation from a couple members on different boards that they mentioned it on ESPN. Ty Law himself has said that Lawyer has been courting him. Honestly, I think there's too much speculation for it not to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great pickup for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I still dont understand why the Bills would even WANT Ty Law, so I'm assuming the rumor is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty still has plenty left in the tank. By the time he's ready to slow down Terrence will be our shutdown guy anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 considering how thrifty TD's signings have been so far, there is almost no chance the Ty Law rumors are true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is completely unwise. Ty law would be a great compliment to Clements but not his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a first round draft pick on him, waited years for the guy to finally get to the pro-bowl level, only to trade him for a fresh rookie so we have to wait a few more years to get 1st round production out of him? Nate isn't going anywhere. If he has another season like he did this year they'll drop the franchise tag on him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I know that I dunno. After all these years of following sports I like to speculate on what our teams would be like with certain players but I've learned that if you hear about a trade and it doesn't go down within a few hours it'll rarely happen.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Not only do I not want to trade Nate, who really came on as a complete player the second half of the year, and I was always one of his biggest critics... BUT... please tell me of a team that is going to trade something of value for him that still has 17 million bonus money and 40 million to sign him to an extension. They're surely not going to trade a #1 for a guy with one year on his contract only to see him walk looking for the best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His improvement has been gradual, because he was good from the start. It's not like a Drew Brees situation where he sucked for a few years, then bloomed. They've gotten a lot of on-field production out of Nate and if they signed Law, then traded Nate for a 1st round pick then that would make sense. This years draft is strong at CB. Very simply, that option beats not getting Law, then losing Nate for nothing in FA. Using TD logic, Law is a player who is open to negotiation at this point and Nate might not be, and he could conceivably feel Clements is as good as gone after next season. It's all speculation based on nothing we've heard, but it does make sense and it isn't uncommon for TD to surprise fans with unexpected moves.

Why not bring Ty Law in (also proven I'm sure you would agree), and trade Nate away for a first round pick, and then when Ty is ready to step down in 4-5 years, Mcgee will be ready or already at elite status as a CB.
