As far as NFL corners go, this guy is old as dirt. You can count on one hand the players with more seniority than him. Aaron Glenn, Ty Law... I think I'm done.

Again, the last time he missed a game was in 2002.

It would be naive to look up Tory James and, especially if you haven't heard much about him, try to draw conclusions based on his age or why he's still on the market.

If you think Tory James is replacing Asante Samuel, you can rule out any chance of the Pats playing in the SB XLII

Sounds like a Free Safety conversion to me.

James on radar

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reported tonight that the Patriots have had talks with free-agent cornerback Tory James.

James's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed those talks.

"The Patriots are obviously a terrific organization and we've had conversations," Bartelstein said. "There are a number of teams that we've talked to, and we hope to get something done this week."

Jones, who turns 34 next month, has played the last four seasons with the Bengals. Of his 11 seasons in the NFL, James has played all 16 games of a season in nine of those years.

He has 39 career interceptions, with 21 coming over the last four seasons.

O.T.I.S. was old as dirt and played for us. What folks are missing is how BB thinks THIS player will fit in HIS defense, not how he'd do in some other D. Note that the guy is durable and ask youself, "Self, just how durable have Patriots DBs been lately?"
