Vinny Testaverde told Sporting News Radio yesterday he has an arrangement with the Patriots to return for the 2007 season. Testaverde's locker has remained intact at Gillette Stadium, a sign of his likely return. He also participated in the team's offseason passing camps and a mandatory full-time minicamp in June.

OMG....you mean to tell me that the league is soo thin at QB to where this old **** like him and Jeff George keep getting signed to teams? My God, let's go call Montana, Elway, and Kelly back. Broadway Joe may have a little gas left in the tank too. RETIRE VINNY!

First Flutie, now Testaverde, these guys are great. Good for Belichek, bringing in some character veterans to fill a roll he never intends to use anyway.

For real- I'd rather have Staubach than Interceptaverde.

Testaverde seems to be trying to become the 21st century's version of George Blanda. Too bad he can't kick field goals.
By the way, Blanda was a better Quarterback also.

Exactly. He'll be there to teach the younger QB's. His chances of playing in an actual game are somewhere between infinitesimal and none.

The first time he goes in he is going to break his hip.

Brady always plays better with a veteran on the sidelines. It's good for Tom, besides, Vinny deserves a ring.

Vinny will not be getting his ring this year.

I would put money on the Patriots before the Colts. Besides Vinny isn't going to do much except watch from the sidelines. They should have gotten someone else though.

For all the moves they made, the Patties did not make the most important move a team can make. rule number one: you are only as good as your back-up QB. If Brady goes down, so do the Patty Cakes.

Vinny is one heck of a clip board holder!
