A dubious theory on Law
By Ron Borges, Globe Staff | March 23, 2005
KAPALUA, Hawaii -- According to a report on CBS SportsLine, the Poston brothers have told NFL teams they have a standing offer of four years and $26 million for Ty Law to return to New England next season, but sources within the Patriot organization flatly deny that.

It would be highly unusual for an NFL team to make such an offer and then leave it on the table while a player's agents traipsed around the country using it as leverage. The Chiefs are among several teams interested in the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback but they are not willing to meet the Postons' demand for $16 million in guaranteed money for a 31-year-old player coming off foot surgery.
Law is believed to have visited with the Chiefs, Steelers, and Ravens; he initiated the Pittsburgh visit by calling and asking to come by while he was in a nearby suburb, visiting his mother. Law was twice in the Steelers' complex a week ago and allowed the team's medical staff to examine the foot he broke (against Pittsburgh) six weeks into last season.
