11/11 — The Jets are laying down the Law — again.

Two and a half seasons after veteran cornerback Ty Law came up with 10 interceptions in his only season as a Jet, then headed off to Kansas City for two seasons, head coach Eric Mangini has just announced at this morning's news conference that Law has agreed in principle to rejoin the Jets for the rest of this campaign.

"I've talked to Ty multiple times during the course of the season," Mangini said. "This was really the first opportunity we've had to get something done and we did. He's good physically in terms of his overall appearance, his weight, those things. We feel very comfortable about it."

Mangini said Law will practice with the Jets today and "I think there's definitely a chance" he could play in the Jets' Thursday night battle for first place in the AFC East with the Patriots in Foxboro, Mass. The coach added that he sees Law playing a role in the secondary, both at corner and safety, and adding even more versatility to the deployment of his personnel.

NFL.com and ESPN had initial reports of Law's agreement to a contract on Monday night. But the deal was not finalized and the Jets had no comment on any of the reports until Mangini made it official today.

To make room on the 53-man active roster, the Jets released Justin Miller, their second-round pick in the 2005 draft. Miller had been active for one game this season.

This will be Ty Law day, needless to say. We'll be reporting throughout the day on Law's practice, Brett Favre from his news conference, Darrelle Revis, who grew up in the same hometown of Aliquippa, Pa., as Law.

Mangini just stated that Revis will not be giving up his uniform No. 24 to Law, who after all was Revis' inspiration for wearing the number in the first place. Law, who has worn 24 with the Patriots, Jets and Chiefs, will wear No. 22, his number from his college days at Michigan.

Update: The Jets announced the official signing in a news release at 5:40 p.m. In the release GM Mike Tannenbaum said of the signing and the negotiations with Law's agent: ”It’s good to add a player of Ty’s caliber who’s familiar with our scheme at this point in the season. I appreciate the efforts of Carl Poston in helping to get this deal done.”
