He wont go anywhere this year, he played 1/2 the seaosn injured and was a top 3 CB.
They'll will probably take his numbers next year, it's the year after where it goes over 10mil that they wont pay'em.
Now, that being said, they will try and renegotiate. Many players have done this (a lot taken pay cuts). Law has always said he wouldn't take a pay cut. something like "Yes, the last few years of my contract I may be overpaid, but the first few years I was the best in the league and not paid like it, so it all evens out".
I think the pats will renegotiate a deal. Less money per year, bigger signing bonus, this gives him more money, but lets the Pats spread it out. In the NFL there is no gaurentee, but if it's a short 2-5yr deal and the Pats cut him, they'd get killed on the cap due to a big bonus.
Part of the reason Milloy was let go, he simply wasn't worth the money. Look at some numbers over the last few years.
Law on the otherhand, is worth the money.
If he leaves NE, honesty, there have been no rumors yet... probably because everyone is assuming he's back in NE, anyone who has a "rumor" it's something probably made up by a caller to a radio show taking a guess.
If I was to guess... I dunno...
Would probably be a contender.... He went to Michigan, but Detroit isn't close. He grew up in PA, but they don't look close either.
Honestly, my wild guess if they got the cap to work would be buffalo.
I'm not sure where he lives in the offseason... that could be a possibility.
But, if I was betting, I'd bet he'll be back next season.
