Ty Law won't play for Patriots Next Year.

He says that 16 million dollars for the next two years is an insult.

BOSTON (AP) Patriots cornerback Ty Law wants to leave the team after playing a key role in the team's drive toward a Super Bowl championship.

''Right now, it's not about money,'' Law told The Boston Globe. ''That bridge is burned. I no longer want to be a Patriot. I can't even see myself putting on that uniform again, that's how bad I feel about playing here.''

Law, battling with the team over a contract extension, said he had ''irreconcilable differences'' with the club and told coach Bill Belichick and vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli he wanted to play elsewhere.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James had no comment to The Associated Press on Saturday.

Law last month called a four-year $26 million offer from New England an ''insult.'' The contract calls for him to make $16.9 million over the next two seasons. The Patriots' proposal would guarantee Law $15.6 million over the next two years, the Globe reported.

''I can't do a thing about it but express my displeasure about playing for this organization,'' Law said. ''I'll go to training camp. I've got bonuses for going to training camp. I'm just saying it won't be a comfortable working atmosphere.''

Kinda reminds me when Kevin Garnett said the Twolves offer about 4 years back of $120 million or some such was an insult.

In other words, I don't put much stock in this - all just posturing for negotiations.

On the other hand as a big-time Pats fan, maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Mudbone .... who knows ..... the way Washington has been this Offseason, DO NOT be surprised if they make a run here. St. Louis matched offers to slam down their last try at a Cover Corner to be opposite of Shawn Springs. Washington could DAMN sure use him AND they certainly don't "seem to mind" spending the Money.

What has Ty Law so Frustrated anyway?? Just curious.

Doesnt matter, they will do fine without him.

If Belichick really wanted him, Law would be happy, not upset...mark my word on that.

Ty is looking for one of those 5 year 40 million dollar contracts with a big signing bonus. He may get one, but not from the Pats. His problem is age, how many very good years does he have left? Another question is how good is he really? Playing a big part in the Pats excellent devensive schemes the past several years has made him an all-pro. Would he be that good on a weaker defense?
