Giants Signing CB D.J. James

He worked out for the team on Tuesday. New York will need to make a corresponding move to free a roster spot. 

James, 25, was drafted out of Auburn with the No. 192 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Seahawks. He signed a four-year, $4,204,432 rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $184,432. 

However, Seattle waived him coming out of the preseason. He caught on with the Patriots on the practice squad and finished out the season. New England re-signed him to a futures deal for the 2025 season but cut him again coming out of the preseason. 

In 2025, James appeared in one game for the Patriots and recorded one tackle.
