Willie Roaf has Now Restructured his contract...


ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

So, uh, are you gonna eat all the food on that platter?

Moooo

HEEEEYG!

Scanlon's blockbuster contract wont get in the way???

ROFL

he made the announcement right at the end of the newscast....

they cut him off as he was about to stand up and start screaming..

no joke

Link to the video. :hmmm:

heeeyg =(

That's awesome! ROFL

Somebody find that link!

:whackit: :whackit: :whackit:

Roaf did sign a new deal, but I had figured the Chiefs already had enough money for Law.

155 Billion Dollars..


I think Kris Wilson's Contract is in harms way

we are getting Ty Law and newly retired Marshall Faulk, to play FB.

As long as they do not touch Scanlon's contract.

Is this legit? Roaf restructured his contract? I guess that could mean we're going to sign Law.

Or maybe Roaf is thinking about retiring...

I was thinking the same thing as you. Roaf may be pondering retirement as that was a rumor a month or so ago. That would really put a damper on the start of this season as Roaf is the rock of the O Line IMO.

Scanlon has no need for contracts. Once a day, around lunchtime, he simply stares at Carl until dollars begin to pour from that fine, fine suit. Doesn't matter if they're in the same room or not. No man alive has witnessed this.

ROFL ROFL

I heard Priest got to see but now he has to retire

I figured I'd go snag Willie's numbers from NFLPA. Any one know if there's a change here?

Roaf, William

Hmmm, that is some cool restructuring there.

I saw the report on Metro Sports. They said that Roaf was going to retire, but the Chiefs rolled out the money to keep him around another year.

Now, obviously since he was still under contract, they likely just shifted some of his base salary into a bonus, lowering his cap number for this year.

That said, I think this was more of a effort to keep Roaf than to free up money to sign Law.

I never knew that wrapping crisp new C-notes around an ailing hamstring or two was the miracle cure. How about that?

We sure as hell need Willie alot more than we need Ty. Although, having both wouldn't bother me.

I want to know why most Ty law threads include Jack Harry

Let me guess, Jack Harry's source is um, whats his name,












Nick Athan?

Well.... You oughta know. :harumph:

Well, this shirt does have his first name on it...

http://www.sociallyabrasive.com/ty%20law.jpg

Jack Harry and Ty Law are intimate with eachother.

Oh please tell me this is true.

I hope we get Ty Law man.

Throw him the $$$

Who cares. It ain't our money anyway. If he signs here, oh gosh! Imagine him, and Surtain. With Jared Allen and Tamba Hali? That would be a huge improvement.

And Law can still play. He is the best CB out there. Easily.

Could possibly be both. Keep Roaf around, and sign another veteran to help give this team a shot to contend.

Throw in Whitlock, and you've got a threesome.


Or is that a fullsome?

Damn dude.

Did you just shoot your load?

Premature......

Not surprising.

I wonder how many Ty Law threads will be posted before kickoff of opening day???

I bet 69.

You mean we haven't reached that number yet?

I was thinking from now on-we are in the millions by now if you count last season-lol

Am I the only one that actually thinks Ty Law will be a Chief?

Nope I think it will happen too. That all knowing grin of Herm's makes it obvious to me.

I think we almost have to have him, our CB's are young and we need a solid #2 if our D is going to improve. Since we basically ignored the DT position- a strong secondary could help.

Law=way over rated

Actually dad it'd be a fatsome.

You screwed up.
You should've typed
Law
=
way over
rated

I agree with all of this.

Nope. Put me on the list. I think people are just understandably skeptical given the theatrics of the whole thing.

He'd still be the no worse than the second best DB on our team.

I don't think Law, without better production from the DTs, helps the defense improve much.

So, of course, I believe he'll be a Chief.

We do everything bassackwards.

Oh, I don't know. I think suck-ass DT's with Ty Law has got to be better than suck-ass DT's with Lenny Walls. Just my opinion.

My guess is that Law, in having to cover for as long as he will, will kill us PI and holding penalties.

I bet Jack Harry thinks that if he gets one of these right people are going to forget what an assclown he is.

Why do people think Law is over rated when he had 10 picks last year, made the Pro Bowl and is familiar with Herm's system?

Depends upon what you're rating him against.

At one point, he wanted a $40M contract with at least $10M up-front. That, to me, is overrated.

Where else would they rather spend the money? Who else should we sign at this point?

This has zero downside, for this season at the very least.

Cause 4 of them were in one game. That's what you're going to hear.

Personally, I don't think it would change the complexion of our D significantly in the Cover 2 scheme. I know that's what he does best, but I question if it will be worth 8 digits worth of payroll.

Moooo

The only thing I can thaink of would be to extend the contracts of LJ and Jared Allen. However, you need two to tango and I have no idea if either player is interested in doing so at this time.

I'm assuming you're talking to me.

I personally don't think we need Ty Law at all. If he wants to come here for a 1-year deal, I would agree with you - there's no downside.

But there's no way I give the guy a multi-year contract worth the kind of figures he's asking. For his 10 INT's and Pro-Bowl appearance, he didn't play all that well, giving up quite a few big plays and committing costly penalties.

One year Incentive laden contract.

I agree.

Of course, Ty Law will never agree to such a contract.

Per KFFL...

i think we did.......


Roaf just squeezed more cash outa of the chiefs ..... had nothing to do with Law.

Law working hard for right spot

Kansas City Star
By ELIZABETH MERRILL
July 11, 2006

"He always has the attitude that he's either going to finish the workout or pass out 'I'd love to have the opportunity to play for (Kansas City) and being reunited with Herm Edwards."

ST. LOUIS | The morning air hangs like a wet rag, and they clop around the track again. One guy bobbles a football. They drop and do 15 pushups.

It's an ordinary oppressive summer day in suburbia. Then a teenager points to two well-sculpted men circling a high-school track and asks, 'Are they famous?'

Ty Law zooms past a senior citizen in the slow lane, then finally slows down, his shirt soaked to his chest. He flashes a smile.

'How you doin'?' he asks.

At least a half-dozen teams are pursuing him - about half can afford him - and on this particular day, Law's cell phone is in the proverbial off position. Training camp starts in two weeks. Law still doesn't have a job, but he's told his agent not to jangle until the serious offers roll in.

Law is in training.

He'll spend four hours outside today, in the sticky St. Louis heat, working with famed track coach Bob Kersee. They call it the 'House of Pain,' and Law knows that if he can make it through this, if he can run with Olympians and stomach Kersee's constant orders to 'Go, go, go!' he can hang with any Pro Bowl receiver.

And make a difference in any NFL city. His main suitors are New England, Arizona, Seattle and Kansas City, and it's assumed the Chiefs and Patriots are the front-runners. Law hates it when people assume. But it's obvious that New England and Kansas City are heavily on his mind, in part, he says, because 'they have a pretty damn good chance of winning.'

Sentimentality may play into it, too. Kansas City is where Herm Edwards is now the coach, and Law and Edwards are longtime friends. Edwards coached him in New York last fall, when doubters wondered whether Law could come back from a serious foot injury, and Law ended up with a league-high 10 interceptions.

New England is where Law won three Super Bowls but was a salary-cap casualty after the foot injury.

'I'd love to have the opportunity to play for (Kansas City), especially going up there and being reunited with Herm Edwards, because we have some unfinished business,' Law said Tuesday. 'If we get together again, fine. But at the same time, we both know this is a business, and all fairy tales don't come true. It's not out of the question that I can return back to New England because I didn't leave on bad terms. It was business. Me and coach (Bill) Belichick, contrary to what everyone might believe, we're fine.

'I'm not opposed to going to either (place). Do I have preferences? Hmmmm, I can't even say that. That puts myself at a disadvantage.'

It has been 16 months since Law hobbled into Arrowhead Stadium for a free-agency visit and made Kansas City atwitter. He was considered the missing piece for a team with an explosive offense and shaky secondary. Some fans proclaimed that Law's acquisition would send the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.

But instead of risking big money on a cornerback with an iffy foot, the Chiefs signed two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Surtain last spring. Surtain, who happens to be a neighbor of Law's in Florida, called Law this week.

Law said Tuesday that the idea of playing with Surtain and safety Sammy Knight is appealing.

'They're proven,' Law said. 'I know they can play back there in that secondary. It would be great to have an opportunity to play with them and play in Kansas City. When I took a visit there last year, I was like, 'Man, I can work with this.' But unfortunately, it didn't happen.'

Law said his decision isn't just about money. He wants to go somewhere he feels comfortable. He said he's turned down some deep-pocketed teams that he didn't think could win in 2006. After enduring a 4-12 season in New York last year, Law said he can't go through another rebuilding season.

That's why he's spending another summer with Kersee, who has coached Olympic gold medalists Gail Devers and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who is his wife. Kersee also has trained NFL stars Jerome Bettis and Marshall Faulk.

The first year Law started working with Kersee, he made it to the Pro Bowl. He flew his coach to Hawaii, and when Law returned an interception for a touchdown in Super Bowl XXXVI, Kersee said it was as big as an Olympic moment.

'He always has the attitude that he's either going to finish the workout or pass out,' Kersee said. 'Whatever I give out, he's going to eat it in full portions. He reminds me of some of my collegiate athletes. He wants to be the best corner in the business.'

Though they've worked together for seven summers, Law may have had his best season in 2005, when he was too hurt to train with Kersee. Arriving long after the start of training camp, Law had 62 tackles and had a career-high 10 interceptions.

Throughout his career, Law has dominated by outmuscling his opponents. In 2005, he had to outthink them.

He isn't ruling out the possibility that he may not sign by the start of camp. He said he wants fair-market value as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks. Law commanded around $6 million from the Jets last year.

At 32, he's ready to prove that he still deserves that label as premier cornerback again. Law isn't sweating, because he's been through this before. And he'll be somewhere again.

'I think I'm a proven commodity,' he said. 'A lot of people want to bring up the age factor. I've been hearing that for the last few years. 'He's getting older, he's getting older.' But yet I'm still in the Pro Bowl, I'm still leading the league in interceptions, I'm the only one who has three Super Bowl rings out of all the guys we're talking about.

'Deep down, people understand that. That's why they're called negotiations. They try to leverage, you try to leverage. I'm at a point where I'm comfortable with myself. I'm not out there chasing. I love the game. I know I'll be playing football. Am I going to rush in and not do the right thing? I won't do that.'

i wish more of our guys would worked this hard

"But it's obvious that New England and Kansas City are heavily on his mind, in part, he says, because 'they have a pretty damn good chance of winning.'"

Obviously the guy was suffering from heat stroke.

Do you mean I should return my super bowl tickets?

Sims works out at the "House of Pancakes". Is that close enough?

I have still not see anything that conclusively led me to believe that Willie was seriously contemplating retirement. The story that has been widely cited on the Planet was so vague that if left me with the belief that he was referring to the end of last season after DV retired and before Herm came on board. The vague nature of the story was a perfect breeding ground for the alarmist (you know who you are) to start the normal panic session.

I'm one of those that doesn't really care one way or the other. I don't think anyone would argue that it would improve our coverage...

But.... I'm sick of everyone having the mindset that Law is the only way we'll be competitive. How many damn idiot media reports do I have to read that say "Unless the Chiefs sign Ty Law, they really didn't do much to improve..." or "Ty Law could be the difference between a SB run and another 9 win season..."

Blehhh....

And if we did sign him.... all we'd hear about is KC SB favorites! Ty Law taking them to the SB!

I'm just really tired of the bullshit when we don't need him as badly as people would think....

This had absolutely nothing to do with Ty Law.

We had, and still have, plenty of cap room to sign him.

This was about giving Big Willie what he deserved.

He has been the best OLineman in the game since he got here, and wasn't making the money that the others were (simply because his contract was older than Pace, Jones, etc)

He wasn't seriously going to retire, either.

He just wanted money without coming out and saying, "Get Paid"

This is how a professional handles negotiations, doesn't use the media to express his thoughts (he just black mails Carl with retirement talk)

Would the people saying that been right last year? We can never know. But we did finish 10-6, just out of the playoffs. Warfield was out the first 4 games and Surtain was injured a little off and on. LJ was unstoppable, and the O was on a roll. If the Chiefs would have had Law.... Heh. :)

Jared Allen, Tony G
contracts are up
LJ will be getting paid
that money is already spent

I highly doubt Law would have single-handedly held Tiki Barber under 200 yards, and that game really broke the season for us.

thats cool i guess

I'm a big Law fan. I wanted us to sign him last year. I think if we sign him, he could be our best CB.

But, if our pass rush doesn't improve, having Surtain and Law does nothing. You don't win a championship with a secondary. Most average fans couldn't name one secondary player in last year's Super Bowl besides Polumalu. In today's touchy feely NFL, cornerback is turning into the most overrated position on the field, so of course that's what we'll spend 80-90 million dollars on and be best at.

Won't the front office have to be thinking about stowing away some extra funds to pay LJ once his contract is up?

FTR Law's 2005 INTs
KC-1
TB-1
Buff-1
Atl-1
Car-1
Oak-1
NE-1
Buff-3 more

his contract has 3 more years

If Ty Law did sign, Surtain moves to the 2 spot and basically covers the same guy he covered last year-- the 2 receiver.

He wouldn't have helped the offense score against Bufalo either.
Wouldn't have changed the Cowboys game
wouldn't have etc. etc.

YAY!!!!!!

At least 2 of which will never see the light of day.
