Last season, the
Kansas City Chiefs ' defense finished 30th in the NFL against the pass, in the middle of the pack in interceptions (17th), and gave up 20.3 points per game. So far this offseason, general manager Carl Peterson has yet to address his secondary in earnest. The bases are now loaded, it's time for Peterson to step up and hit a grand slam. Ty Law, arguably the best cornerback in the NFL, is available, and the Chiefs have the money. It's time for Peterson to step up and, as Jerry Maguire would say, "show Law the money!"
After an injury-plagued 2004 campaign with the
New England Patriots , Law was released, and eventually signed a three-year, $23 million contract with the
New York Jets . In his first and only year in the "Big Apple," Law proved to be worth every penny.
This past season, numerous quarterbacks tested their fate against the "Law", and more often than not, Law delivered the NFL's version of karmic retribution.
He tied with Deltha O'Neal of the Cincinnati Bengals for the league lead in interceptions with 10. In addition, the ball-hawking cornerback tallied 62 tackles and was a great mentor for rookie corner Justin Miller.
Ty Law is a quality player...and Chief fans are up in arms about this...Why are the Chief waiting so long on this deal?
