Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler Ty Law
By Ethan J. Skolnick | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
3:26 PM EDT, October 16, 2008

The Dolphins have reached out to representatives for veteran free agent cornerback Ty Law, to discuss a workout for the five-time Pro Bowl selection, according to a source.

Law, 34, hasn't played in the NFL this season, after starting 16 games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007. The South Florida resident has 52 career interceptions, including 10 for the New York Jets, but is best known for his 10 seasons with the New England Patriots. Law visited with the Jets during the offseason, and had phone conversations with the Patriots and Cleveland Browns. In July, he said that he had contract offers, but was waiting for the right opportunity.

The Jets, Patriots and Browns are coached by extensions of the Bill Parcells coaching tree. Parcells is now the Dolphins' VP of Football Operations.

The Dolphins are thin at the position, and allowed Texans quarterback Matt Schaub to throw for 378 yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to Houston. Andre' Goodman did not practice Thursday due to what coach Tony Sparano called "a personal emergency," and Michael Lehan worked in his starting spot. Will Allen, who has been bothered by a sore knee, did practice. Sparano said he expected Goodman and Allen to play Sunday, and spoke highly of Jason Allen as a cornerback.

If he still can play at a high level, then why not?  I think he could teach our secondary a thing or two.

Doesn't take any draft picks to get him...won't require a long term commitment...probably won't requiire a boatload of cash...

Sure, it can't hurt to bring him in and check out how much of his skills are still there and see what he can do to help this team.

If he could play at a high level he would have a job.

Law may not have elite physical skills anymore, but he's probably still mentally up to the task.  I think that's part of our problem.

Even in decline, he's better than any DB we have on our roster.

It looks like he's swayed towards joining the Cowboys or Packers.

If he wants too much money, then I'd rather take a pass.
