According to Ty Law's agent, Carl Poston, Lions general manager Matt Millen was excited and surprised about how well Law worked out. "They told us that they had to work some things around financially and they could give us an offer by Tuesday," Poston said. The four-time Pro Bowl performer, released by the New England Patriots in February, has been rehabilitating his surgically-repaired left foot in Miami. The injury limited the 10-year veteran to just seven appearances in 2004 and he finished the season on the injured reserve list.

Detroit Lions vice president Bill Keenist confirmed Sunday evening that four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law is scheduled to visit the team's headquarters in Allen Park today for a physical and a workout. Law, a former University of Michigan defensive back, reportedly turned down a four-year, $26-million offer from the Patriots a year ago and still has his sights set on a more lucrative deal. The Lions are one of eight teams believed to be interested in Law.

The Detroit Lions added both of their sixth-round picks on Friday, signing linebacker Jonathan Goddard and defensive end Bill Swancutt to three-year deals. Swancutt, out of Oregon State, shared the Pac 10's Defensive Player of the Year award with Detroit's second-round pick, Southern California defensive tackle Shaun Cody. Goddard led the nation in sacks while at Marshall last season and was second in forced fumbles.
