ESPN.com- During a season in which Jeremiah Trotter, Junior Seau and Ahman Green each unexpectedly returned to football, cornerback Ty Law will now do the same.Law and the Broncos have reached agreement on a contract that will add another former Patriot to Josh McDaniels' stable of them in Denver.
Law confirmed the developments when contacted Friday.
He is scheduled to fly to Denver on Friday to take a physical. Assuming he passes, Law will join the Broncos at a similar time to when he joined the New York Jets last season.
When the Jets signed him early in a week last year, Law suited up days later and participated in more than 50 plays covering Randy Moss.
He had wanted to return to football again and will now have the chance. Law, Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey will give Denver arguably the most decorated defensive secondary in the league.
Many have fought the Law, but usually the Law wins. The only one that can beat the Law? Himself. Law will be 36 in February. And for a position that relies so much on speed and a player's legs, he is undoubtedly past his prime. In a secondary that features Dawkins (36), and Bailey (31), the Broncos will have a geriatric defensive backfield.
What is with this new craze of players joining teams halfway through the regular season? It started with baseball and Roger Clemens, and now we are starting to see it in the NFL. I don't get it. Either play a full season or don't play at all. It's not fair to the players who bust their ass during mini and training camps, let alone the start of the regular season. If I was in the league, you're damn right I would be pissed about this--especially if an aging player like Ty Law is taking up my playing time. I understand that he brings veteran skills and leadership to the team, but does that make up for his lack of athletic ability over Andre Goodman, who had 5 INT and 19 passes defended?
I guess we'll just have to wait and see who is the first receiver to break the Law.
