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

Law isn't even going to see the field Week 1, let alone shut someone down.

Honestly, I would be willing to bet we score more than 24. If our offensive chemistry is high, it will surpass 35 points.

Am I the only person that remembers the first Denver game last year?

As for them keeping our running game in check, they do have Vilma in the middle.

Let's not cound our chickens before they hatch.

Who's better......Vilma or Ray Lewis? Because I could have sworn that last year the Ravens were gonna shut our running game down and our entire O-line (especially Waters) made Uncle Ray Ray look like a little girl on the field. I remember Ray Lewis being mic'd up for that MNF game and you could tell by his noises, actions, etc., that he was really frusturated. If we can keep Ray Lewis in check, we can most definitely keep Vilma in check.

Didn't we beat the Jets a couple a seasons ago? IMO I dont think the Jets have gotten all that better. We had a shitty defense back then and this year we have GREAT speed and much more talent than in 2002. WE WILL SHUT DOWN CURTIS MARTIN!

The Jets defense we beat was 14th in the NFL in points against and 24th in yards allowed.

Last year's Jets defense was 4th in points against and 7th in yards allowed.

They're SIGNIFICANTLY better than the last time we faced them.

For every Ray Lewis, there's an Al Wilson.

Our offense CAN be stopped. It's just too bad that the Jets won't be able to use Ty Law to do it.

I suppose the Falcons front 7 are total slouchs? how many points did the chiefs put on them? 56!!!!!

As far as putting Kennison on an Island, feel free. We have Hall, Parker, Holmes, Richardson, Gonzalez, Wilson, Dunn, Johnson as other more than viable targets. As for stopping the run, take a look at our Oline, plus Richardson, Plus gonzalez. I dont care how good your front 7 is, they can be nullified.

I wouldn't be worrying about what Law's going to do on Sept. 11th, Jet fans. Your noodle-armed QB is a bigger issue right now.

You'll be owned at Arrowhead just the same way we owned you at the Meadlowlands a couple of years ago.

yeah but this isnt the 2003 version of the jets defense. out defense now is the total package. just look at last years stats. #4 in points per game allowed. #5 in total rushing yards allowed. we were middle of the pack in total passing yards allowed, but our secondary is much improved over last years version. we were #7 in total defense. we also had like 6 second half shut outs last year. your offense is going to be in for quite a test at arrowhead on the 11th. i'm just saying its not going to be a cake-walk for you guys, so be ready for a fight!

Listen Necklicker, 24-17 is no owning, you wont be here to take your licks, and we will score more than 24 points on you. Clear? Good.

Who did you sign at CB?

And at Safety, you're just going to assume that a couple of 2nd-year players will step up their play this year?
