Ty Law has agreed to a multiyear deal with the New York Jets on Sunday, his publicist Elita Lee, told the New York Times on Sunday.

The Jets had reached an agreement in principle on most of the major components of a deal with the free-agent cornerback, sources told ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli. However, there remained some financial sticking points and tricky contract language to iron out after negotiating sessions on Thursday and Friday.

Law, who has spent the offseason rehabilitating from a left foot injury that limited him to seven games in 2004, also must pass a physical examination.

The contract is expected to be for at least three years and could average $6 million per season, sources told ESPN.com. On paper, the contract might well be longer in term, but it is generally agreed that, for practical purposes, both sides anticipate that Law will play three seasons. What will be the most interesting element in the deal is its structure because the Jets must protect themselves against injuries or the possibility that Law is not yet 100 percent.

New York has stayed in touch with Law and his agents for the past few months, and the retirement of veteran corner Donnie Abraham two weeks ago left the Jets in need of a replacement.

A healthy Law would be a high-profile addition and help compensate for the exit of Abraham, who retired to spend more time with his family and to pursue a number of business opportunities.

Law is said to have great admiration for Jets coach Herm Edwards, a superior salesman and recruiter, and the two have spoken at various times in the offseason. Law has also gotten sales pitches from Jets tailback Curtis Martin and secondary coach Corwin Brown, both of whom were onetime teammates of his in New England. He also has a 5-year-old daughter who lives in New York.

Law, 31, last year turned down a four-year, $24 million offer from New England, which released him in February for salary cap reasons. He had been adamant this offseason about not accepting a minimum-salary contract and has publicly stated he wants a deal commensurate to his status as a four-time Pro Bowl performer. Privately, though, Law has conceded to confidants that he understands he will probably not land a contract that meets all his demands. It appears the Jets will pay him a signing bonus of at least $5 million as part of his deal

BB's defenses NEVER lead the league in yards allowed. He doesn't care about yards -- only points.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen the same damn thing happen -- teams seemingly able to roll up and down the field on us, yet by the end of the game -- 17 points, 14 points, etc. etc. It's a rare game where someone just can't move the ball on us at all (usually an inept offense).

BB runs a low risk defense. Not at all like Buddy Ryan's old defense, which was all about high risk, high reward.

Sooner or later we'll stop winning Super Bowls (hopefully the year Brady retires), but that doesn't impact what has happened in the past.

4 years from now, I see the Patriots/'phins being like Red Sox/Yankees. The two always fighting for the crown, with Buffalo and the Jets regretting they're in the same division as us.

Until Saban gets a good QB, I'm thinking Brady gives us the edge, but still -- I'd much rather have Saban in the NFC or at least out of the AFC East. He's going to be a damn good pro coach.

Thanks Titus. The nineties were a little better but '03 helped keep this decade's home record very good for KC. Not as much of a drop off as I thought.

I forgot one-Lucky Peytub Manning can't seem to figure out a way to pass in a snow storm. If Pats had to play in his dome last year it would have been different. I hate to admit it but he had a great year. I beat there are still Dallas fans quoteing stats from their heyday-quick somebody pull the stats of the Chiefs glory days- Defense#1 ect ect. Now that was a deffense!! Halfcan

Easy there can boy.................................................

Halfcan · 08-08-2005, 12:17 PM

I would say SOONER more than later. Brady Bunch will be retiring this year after you guys come back to Arrowhead. Oh and wasn't the Broncos that have been killed like 98 points to like 23 their last two playoff appearences-just asking., Halfcan

Yeah, one player makes a huge difference in stopping our offense.

Just ask the Broncos, and their defense is better than yours.

Bottomline, no one stops our offense. We have beaten the best defenses the past 4 years, and if we stay healthy, that won't be changing.

Halfcan · 08-08-2005, 12:25 PM

Oh I forgot we were yelling at a Jets fans-then these Patsy and Donkey fans jumped in. The season will prove who is right. Gotta give you props-you love your teams to come on our site and talk smack. I guess there is nothing to say on your own team site-they too perfect. Our defense has been an easy target, but this year will change!!

You need to give up while you're way behind. I forgot one too, from a recent Rick Gosselin article:

"You need to stay healthy to win. From 1985 to 2002, only two Super Bowl champs lost more than 40 games by starters due to injury – Washington with 41 games in 1991 and San Francisco with 44 in 1994.

Yet the Patriots won the 2003 NFL championship despite losing a whopping 87 games by starters due to injury, then won back-to-back in 2004 despite losing 55 more games by starters due to injury."
