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

The Chiefs are not only going to beat the Jets....they're going to destroy them. It won't be pretty at all. I'm sure, even Eddie Kennison is excited to go against old SlewFoot.

not true. you'll see. we get plenty of opposing teams fans over at jetsinsider.com and they talk alot, but never come back after their team loses. once in a while one will come back. those are the ones you respect. i'll be here win or lose, that monday.

I would like to take some time to point a few things out.

The first has already been pointed out several times. Law has not yet signed with the Jets. If he does sign, he may not be healthy by the opener.

Second I would to point out that even with Law playing and covering Kennison, I could still see Kennison having a good game. It all comes down to whether or not the Jets can get good pressure on Green. If Green has good protection then our WRs will get open.

My third and final point is that the Jets had a decent pass rush last season, but not a great one. They were tied for 17th in sacks while the Chiefs were tied for 7th.

Truthfully I think our passing game will depend on if Green has a slow start on or not. If our pass blocking is good and Green is on, then I don't think the Jets can do anything to stop us.

IF WE WIN??? Okay I am done laughing now!! Start licking now-cause you don't have a prayer. Chad Penniston won't make it out of the 1st quarter with that shoulder. Have you ever been to Arrowhead? Check the winning stats of QB's coming into Arrowhead for their first or second visit? Ask Michael Vick about his traumatic expierence last year. QB"S can't hear and will have to prescript their plays, and can't change them when Gunther blitzes with everyone but the beer vendors. I am rooting for you to beat the lucky azz Pats though. Good Luck!! Halfcan

That playoff win drought has your football smarts all fuzzy. Luck is winning a game because some idiot takes off his helmet. Back-to-back SB wins takes a little more than luck.

we've put up 30+ on defenses better than yours....ask the Doncos and Champ Bailey what happened last time they were in Arrowhead...shit, even Surtain when he was with the Dolphins got his squad toasted in Arrowhead...Pittsburgh two years ago...we dropped 30 in New England etc...the list is long

i'd be more worried about Pennington's shoulder....Gun will sick Bell on him, count on it...

Halfcan · 08-08-2005, 11:27 AM

Yeah lucky that Pittsburg had a rookie QB giving up 4 interceptions. Lucky the refs let their offensive line hold every play to protect Tom Terrific-like they used to allow with horseface in Denver. Lucky the had a weak division and get to play at home in horrible conditions tailor made to make teams have to run against their great run defense. Also Lucky Donovon MCflabb got a tummy ache in the two minute drill last year and wasted any chance of an Eagles win. If you don't think Luck has anything to do with football-how do you explain our lowest fumble recovery total ever last year. Its the lucky bounce sometimes that makes a difference. And yes the playoff drought has ruined my life-lol Maybe we will get Lucky this year-haha Halfcan

**luv** · 08-08-2005, 11:28 AM

Why go to NY? BBQ beats pizza and traffic anyday.

He obviously has no taste, and they're awaiting the passing of a physical. Why would we want him if he is injured? Will he be back to 100% after this? Or is his 85% better than most others 100%?

Thig Lyfe · 08-08-2005, 11:32 AM

Jets don't have a chance on Opening Day.

I am completely unconcerned by the first four games, in fact. Have faith, bretheren and sistern!

Arrowhead used to be a tougher place to play than it is today. While still one of the harder road games on the schedule the mystique of Arrowhead has been diminshed.
IMHO the reason for this is the abysmal defensive teams KC has fielded this decade. The Arrowhead advantage was all keyed off of the dominating D of the '90's.
Teams don't fear KC's D like they used to; Arrowhead is no longer the graveyard for visiting teams it used to be.
What is KC's home recored from 2000-2004? What was it from 1996-2000? (I'm too lazy to look it up).

yea i went you your fan site yesterday and somebody was like "surtain aint what he used to be" all i have to say about law is good luck. He sure as hell wont be what he used to be.

Halfcan · 08-08-2005, 11:45 AM

Oh my you talk smack and too lazy to look up the stats to prove yourself wrong? If Arrowhead mistique has dimished-which is crazy-it is because the Kansas fans always leave by the third quarter. We Mo. fans make up for it in beer comsumption and yell twice as loud. Halfcan

Amnorix · 08-08-2005, 11:47 AM

Law's a very good player (to say the least) when healthy. And he's pretty much a physical fitness freak, so I expect him to be a very solid corner to a later age than average.

So, basically, this sucks.

Let's see:

1. Law signs with Jets (AFC East).
2. Miami (AFC East) gets Nick Saban
3. Cleveland (AFC) gets Romeo Crennel.
4. Bruschi has a stroke.
5. Ted Johnson unexpectedly retires from too many concussions.

Seriously -- there are many good and valid reasons that the Patriots will be very good this year and contend for a title, blah, blah, blah, but this off-season has SUCKED!
