PFT says the deal is not likely to be an expensive one, but then again its PFT.


LAW'S DEAL LIKELY NOT A GREAT ONE

The early consensus in league circles is that the contract signed by cornerback Ty Law with the Chiefs is not a great deal.

Why? Because hard numbers have yet to be leaked to the press by his agents, Carl and Kevin Poston.

For most contracts, the thinking is that if the details aren't made available within 24 hours, this means that the agent doesn't want the details to be scrutinized, which means that the details aren't great.

In the case of the Postons, the "24-hour rule" becomes the "24-minute rule."

A league source with knowledge of the Chiefs' negotiating strategies for free agents surmises that, given the absence of hard numbers, the package is likely a series of five one-year deals, with a sizeable roster bonus and/or an option bonus due in years two through five.

The educated guess as to the first-year money is a $4 million signing bonus and $1 million in salary, and that Law would get another $5 million or so in 2007 if the Chiefs decide to continue the deal.
