Skins Db's

We missed McQuarters, and there seems to be a need for the team at db. Why not sign Law? he's a pro bowl leader with a chip on his shoulder. He will make an impact, and return in good form. I say make a run at him, what do u guys think

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-13-2005, 03:10 PM

If we could only offer McQuarters the veteran minimum, I don't see how we could get or want Law.

BigSKINBauer · 06-13-2005, 03:21 PM

i personally am content with our DBs as long as Taylor plays, no need in my eyes to spend the money. Also Law has been available for a LONG time so i don't see why we would pick him up all of a sudden

diehardskin2982 · 06-13-2005, 03:22 PM

a major contender for Law is the chiefs and they r only offering the vetran min as well

Defensewins · 06-13-2005, 03:23 PM

Want Law YES! He is better than Smoot and Champ (when healthy).
Afford NO. He wants to be the highest paid CB. He will not come cheap.
His problem is he is still recovering from foot injury and will not be able to play for a couple more months (if then). So team are afraid to sign him to a big contract if he might be healthy for season opener.

at vet min i'd tae the chance, but i really think he's not going to settle for that, even though he's been crippled for an entire season...

BrudLee · 06-13-2005, 03:26 PM

Why would Ty Law take the veteran minimum to come here when he could presumably make more (even if just a bit) to stay with the Pats and be the prohibitive favorite to get another ring?

dirtbag2112 · 06-13-2005, 03:31 PM

thats my guess too. he'll go back to the pats like Troy Brown.

BigSKINBauer · 06-13-2005, 03:35 PM

i like him though, he is truly skilled, i hope him luck in getting well because he is fun to watch.

diehardskin2982 · 06-13-2005, 03:35 PM

u guys r talkin like he's gettin the money that he's askin 4. If he did he would be signed to a contract. Sign back with the pats not gona happen, it was a bitter breakup and I don't see that happenin

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-13-2005, 03:38 PM

I don't think he'd sign for league minimum either and if he did, it would be mercenary-style. Going to a team, signing and then demanding a fat contract.

diehardskin2982 · 06-13-2005, 03:40 PM

I see a 1yr for him to prove he's still got it and then he'll go for the price he wants. Give him a Darrelle Gardner contract

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-13-2005, 03:42 PM

When you get "hired guns" you get people who might mesh in the locker room, but don't build overall team chemistry if you're going to lose them the next year.

diehardskin2982 · 06-13-2005, 03:59 PM

i feel the skins seriously need to get to the playoffs and he'd help us get there. I think its good to have 1 or 2 guys like that but not the whole team

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-13-2005, 04:03 PM

The only issue I have with that is that signing him would stunt the growth of who we already have. I think Springs is AT or above his level and that Rogers needs his reps and Harris will do a fine job sharing those reps.

I don't mean to keep shooting the idea down, but signing him would not be very mindful of the future unless we could get him for 6 years for a six pack and a pizza.
