Whur CHad At? Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Looks like Law could be headed to Pittsburgfrom postgazette.comLaw visits Steelers, but why is mysterySaturday, March 12, 2005By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteTy Law spent part of Thursday visiting with Steelers coach Bill Cowher and some of his defensive assistants at their UPMC facility, but for what purpose?Law, a former Pro Bowl cornerback with a debilitating fractured foot, is at least one month from becoming healthy enough to try to pass any NFL team's physical. He has a Lis Franc injury that only two NFL players are known to have had and returned to play successfully in the league again -- Duce Staley and Atlanta linebacker Keith Brooking.Staley was 23 when he was injured, and Brooking was 24. Law is 31. His foot was broken Oct. 31 at Heinz Field, and that ended his season. The New England Patriots released him last month.Law recently was able to discontinue using a special motor scooter to get around since the injury, but he's far from being able to work out for teams. Nevertheless, he will pay a visit Monday to the Kansas City Chiefs, who are desperate for a cornerback.An Aliquippa native, Law's visit with the Steelers was an impromptu session that came two days after Kevin Colbert, the team's director of football operations, said the team planned no player visits the rest of the week. The Steelers have not opened any discussion with Law's agent, Carl Poston.The Steelers are looking for depth at cornerback. They return their starting cornerbacks from last season, Deshea Townsend and the recently re-signed Willie Williams. They also have Ricardo Colclough, their second-round pick in 2004, and Ike Taylor, a fourth-rounder in 2003. They released Chad Scott two weeks ago.The Steelers have little salary-cap room left after signing wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Tuesday. Colbert, however, said that would not prevent them from signing someone if need be. They have reworked contracts of a handful of players to create the room they have, pushing their cap accounting into future years to do so.
