The Pats letting Ty Law go was one of the worst decisions I can remember. He was HUGE on that defense and made a living intercepting Manning. He even did it in the playoffs this year. It's always a shame though when teams are forced to let good players go because of the cap. It seems when teams win the players all think it was them that made the difference. In Law's case, he may be right.

1. He was not given away. He had a thing we call a contract.:) Slavery ended in 1863 in the US.:)
2 they offered him a renegotiated contract in the March before he left. He was insulted by it and decided to play his last year the become a Free Agent. Then on Halloween 2004 he broke his foot on the field at Pittsburgh. (No one hit him, just a freak thing.) With Troy Brown and guys that got cut from CFL teams, the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXIX with him in a powered chair-thingy and found out the essential person in the secondary is Rodney Harrison who was so good he let Ty Law take chances without getting burned occasionally. (Jet and KC fans will tell you he gets burned as often as he makes a big interception.)

I am a big Pats fan and I personally think Ty Law should have definitly stayed. I mean we are just as good on defense without Ty but what he contributed in the years he was with us really boosted our defense. Well this is the NFL, alot of it is bussiness you know?!

Yes because like the other guy said there weakest spot this year was recieving. Letting go of 3 good recievers: Patten, Branch, Givens was a big mistake. Asante Samuels has fit in well and they can pick up another DB in the draft. What they need is a reciever and a linebacker. When your goto guy is Reche Caldwell you are in trouble.

It turned out to be a pretty good desicion because without him asante samuel emerged into a #1 corner and maybe the best in the league.

i don't know, but they sure look smart because asante samuel proved better than law would have been...the pats mistake was not keeping deion branch...do you think branch would have dropped a sure TD in the AFC title game, then been as wide open as anyone has ever been on the next drive and drop that one too? i don't

If there was no salary cap, no but luckily there is. I'm a Pats fan, so it's good Asante Samuel filled that hole. The salary cap forced them to, so they did.

no we should have kept him, but the worse mistake we made it to let Adam Vinitari go!!! We have Assante for now..Ty was a crybaby anyway
