Patriots sign CB Tory James

It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.

by Christopher Reina

The Mavericks and Celtics are a pair of throughly modern teams, but in distinctly contrasting ways, which should make for an entertaining series and also a referendum on two models of team construction.

Good pickup, don't have details yet...
He's old but he's still pretty good, had 4 picks last year

Depth is always a need when it comes to corner. Nice Signing.

James is still a pretty good corner. I wouldn't expect him to start, but could be a nice guy off the bench.

he's lost a step. actually, make that two steps. he's old and slow but has the experience. okay signing in my opinion. he's not a good CB anymore because of his extreme slowness.

He's certainly an upgrade to what the Pats had at the nickel CB with Chad Scott and whatever else they had.

great depth signing, may not be a lotbetter than scott, scott was very good for us last year. im sure he will excel in the nickel role. (scott will move all over a bit more) the only big DB mistake the patshave made in years was duane starks, and james has been better the last few years. his durability and ballhawking, combined with our defense's awesomeness should make him just as effective as hes been.
