Len PastaBelly's Punts -- Law, Hartwell Notes

nychief · 03-12-2005, 11:28 AM

• Punts: Pittsburgh fans shouldn't start envisioning former New England cornerback Ty Law playing in black and gold in 2005 just yet. The Thursday visit to Steelers officials was initiated by Law, not Pittsburgh management. Law resides in nearby Aliquippa, Pa., and, as he continues to recover from foot surgery, is trying to make sure teams don't forget about him in free agency. … Ravens officials have denied they are shopping linebacker Peter Boulware in trade talks. But there are some Baltimore staffers who feel that the veteran 'backer, coming off a 2004 season he missed because of injuries, is not a very good fit now that the club is returning to a 4-3 defense. … The San Francisco 49ers are interested in wide receiver David Boston, released by Miami this week and still not able to pass a physical exam because of the knee injury that sidelined him all last season. The rationale of the 49ers is that Boston had his best seasons in Arizona under Jerry Sullivan, the new San Francisco receivers coach. The Dolphins thought that, too, but the knee injury suffered in training camp rendered the matter moot. … Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack played mostly at right tackle in Seattle but several teams, including Buffalo and Green Bay, are considering the unrestricted free agent as a guard. One sleeper in the hunt for Womack is Pittsburgh, which lost starting right tackle Oliver Ross to Arizona in free agency. … Falcons defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, who coached Darren Sharper in Green Bay, would probably like to have the safety in his Atlanta secondary. But Sharper, released by the Packers on Thursday, is probably asking for more money than Atlanta can afford. The Falcons are quietly in the chase for Baltimore inside linebacker Ed Hartwell, but his price probably is too steep, too.

Its possible that the longer Hartwell is out there, his price could drop as most teams have seen it as unrealistic. Hartwell has never been a star in the league, but is demanding star money. At some point, he will have to settle on some threshold.

San Francisco is interested in David Boston. That organization couldn't be more fucked up right now.
