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

At this point, I'd take Surtain over Law too, but only because he's younger and healthier. All else being equal, Law has had, and will have by the time he's done, a better career.

But I'd rather have Surtain than Law, RIGHT NOW, that is true. You guys will get more out of Surtain than the Jets will out of Law.

Yeah if I had some ammo-lol Halfass-thats not bad thanks. I forgot those losses are still really fresh. Man that was embarrassing!! Maybe the super genius Shanacan, will get horseface out of retirement so you guys can win another playoff game.
Hey Pats fan, all your stats would not mean crap if you wern't lucky to have a great kicker-without him you would still be talking about Steve Grogin and Drew Bledsoe. Halfass

You have the right to remain silent, your posts can and WILL be resurrected to be held against you.

Halfcan,

After reading this thread, I've noticed you're taking shots at the Pats.

You can't argue with the Pats success, so you probably should stop. I wouldn't have even started. Everyone hates them because they are so successful. It's the other 31 teams' jobs to bring them down on the field.

Now as much as I want the Chiefs to play at home against whoever for the AFC Championship game this year, I would love to get a shot at the Pats in their house for the AFC title. That would be sweet to bring them down there. They may or may not have a fall this year, but if both of us are in the playoffs, I would love if it worked out that we get to play them at New England. We'll get to see what we're really made of if everything goes according to planned. I don't expect the Pats to have a fall, but who knows. I just hope we get to play them in January.

I am sure everyone will go the long way around to avoid New Jersey.

But maybe not this year (we'll see how Law's recovery goes).

And over the next four years, I doubt it. Law will be like 36 by then. Surtain is entering his peak years. Law's best years aren't ahead of him, that's for sure.

Me too. I wouldn't even mind losing to you guys, even though I'd get massacred on this board. What I would LOVE, however, is for us (Pats) to beat the Colts before we meet for the AFC Championship, if we are destined not to win the SB this year.

I want Manning's HOF plaque to read "Great player, blah, blah, blah. But he could never beat the Patriots."

I want the Patriots to be Manning's kryptonite for all eternity.

I don't mean to be unkind, but we seriously KILLED you guys the two games we played last year. The second game, especially, you were starting to feel your oats, and we just smacked you down hard.

We'll see if you've caught up to the cream of the crop yet. Your 11 wins only got you a FOURTH seed in the AFC, so don't get too excited about your position in life, or in the highly competitive AFC.
