Cast Your Verdict:
This is not an NFL transaction β the Boston Celtics are an NBA team signing a basketball player. John Tonje is a Wisconsin Badgers basketball star, not a football player. Headlines confirm this is a two-way NBA contract, completely unrelated to the NFL. Football fans have no reason to discuss this move whatsoever. This transaction cannot be evaluated for football merit as it belongs in a different sport entirely.
Boston Celtics' signing of John Tonje grades out as an excellent deal (A), adding quality at shooting guard. The 1-year, $119K deal ($119K AAV) represents excellent value in the current market. John Tonje brings below-average production to the roster (D+ Performance grade), providing the Boston Celtics with a meaningful contributor. At 24 years old, John Tonje is a rising talent, with room to develop further. This is the type of move that can provide surplus value and strengthen a roster without overextending the salary cap.
Signed G John Tonje and F Dalano Banton to 10-day contracts.
