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

but hey, you can't cry over spilt milk. If you don't like someone you have to go out there and knock 'em down.

Whine about the stupid tuck rule all you want (it is kind of a stupid rule), BUT it IS a rule. It's an official, honest-to-God rule, and he got the call right. The NFL agreed he got the call right.

We won't even mention that the stupid DB karate chopped Brady to the head to create the non-fumble, and wasn't called for that either.

Nor will we mention that the had plenty of chances to stop the Patriots or win the game AFTER the tuck rule was correctly called, but failed each time.

In short, the ruling on the field was correct, a penalty that should have been called on the Raiders was missed, and the Raiders failed to seal the deal when given the chance anyway.

And, as if all that weren't enough, even if ti was a blatantly wrong call (which ti was not) it's still nothing more than cosmic justice for when Ben Dreith screwed the Patriots with that ridiculous roughing the passer penalty back in '76.

This shit never happens in Lawrence, even though our team is usually the losing one. So shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.

That's what I thought, bitch.

Dang I am glad you got that off your chest-feel better? Now you can go argue on the thread that T Brady is the best Qb ever-lol

I should create a username like "JetsFan" and start a thread like "Oh TrIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNT, meet your new friend".

It's "Trent."

If you're going to put INT in any QBs name, that's Plummer's. He rightfully owns the term. He patented it. He just let Green borrow it for one year, in 2001, when we had no WRs to throw to. We don't have great ones now, we have good ones. Back in 01, we had way below average WRs. Plummer has a number one WR, in Rod Smith, and he still leads the league in INTs. Trent doesn't have a number one WR, but he does have an abundance of weapons to throw to, unlike Plummer.

Trent Green is better than Jake Plummer.

I love it when people on the Mane say Trent Green is a product of the Oline...well...EVERY QB IS A PRODUCT OF THEIR OLINE!!! Trent is good, quit trying to nitpick reasons why he's not...other than he plays with the Chiefs. He's a top 5 QB, many would say. Plummer isn't even in the top 10.

Thanks, and goodnight.

Week 1 should be a great game -- that much I'm sure we all agree on. Both team's have some new personnel and we'll see how what we see on paper translates to the field.

I'll say right now that we will not shut down the KC offensive machine...does that mean we can't win the game? No.

I'm no more of an expert on the Chiefs as most of you guys are on the Jets. Point is that Neckdemon and most Jet fans eat, sleep, and breathe Jet football....same as you guys do with the Chiefs. And I can tell you that we have one helluva talented team. It will be a close game.

I'll be here win or lose.

We'll even do the Chiefs a favor and kick the shit out of San Diego and Oakland for you.

And anyone who thinks the Ty Law signing wasn't a good thing (for the Jets) needs to hook me up with a bowl of whatever they're smoking....puff, puff, pass.

This thread is classic...

I cant understand 1/2 of 1/2can's s*it... He is fighting against a Pats fan who is respected on this board who has all his facts straight and can back it up, LET IT GO 1/2can...

1/2can - I think its great that you are posting, but you need to start posting with logic/understandable words... Damn dude, it hurts to read your posts... great comments after re-reading them, but help me out...

- to a lot of the stuff said on here about Jets shutting down KC, I think we learned from our mistakes from last years slow start, Trent will have the boys ready...

My .02 - Night...

Welcome and good post... but TY LAW has not signed anything yet, as soon as he does you can talk like he has...

He will be good, I just dont think he will be effective and 100% until week 3 or 4

I still can't believe, after all these years, that he made that ****ed up call.

It took forever but at least they got their due.

Im just razzin' GoChiefs since the above proposed thread title is something very similar to what he has posted at the Mane several times when the Chiefs have acquired certain players or have been said by the media to be "close" to acquiring certain players.
