Denver » The Denver Broncos moved to shore up their secondary Friday by coming to terms with veteran cornerback Ty Law.

Law, 35, has been named to five Pro Bowls. He has not played this season.

Law did not return a message Friday, but is expected to formally sign a contract today and join the team for meetings if he passes a physical. Broncos officials had no comment and did not turn in a transaction to the league. It is unknown when the Broncos would be ready to put Law on the field. The Broncos play at home Monday night against Pittsburgh, then Nov. 15 in Washington.

The Broncos did not formally make a roster move to add Law.

Law played seven games, starting six, for the Jets last season. He was with the New England Patriots for four of Broncos coach Josh McDaniels' eight seasons with the team. New England chose him in the first round in 1995.

He gives the Broncos their fifth player over age 30 in the secondary, a collection of defensive backs that now has 20 Pro Bowls on its collective résumé. Champ Bailey has been named to eight, with Brian Dawkins in seven.
