That all depends on how he does in the preseason. He's going to get a ton of reps and if he puts up some serious numbers, teams will worry less about his timed speed. 40 time only matters before you put in pro reps. Once you do it on the field, those numbers are forgotten and productivity is the only factor.
Honestly, IR or PS are the only ways I see him sticking with the team (barring injuries to others, of course). Garcon, Goodwin, Taylor, and Pettis are locks for the roster. That leaves one or two spots left. Bourne has the experience and the knowledge of the system. Plus he was trending up last season. If they decide to go with six WRs, James fits this offense better. I could be totally wrong, but we'll see.
