The 43-year-old quarterback, the first overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 1987 draft, has played 19 NFL seasons and has 269 touchdown passes, eighth in NFL history, and is sixth with 45,252 yards passing. He becomes the third quarterback on the Patriots roster, behind Tom Brady and second-year man Matt Cassel. The Patriots will be his sixth team. In addition to the Bucs, he has played for Cleveland, Baltimore, the Jets and Dallas. He retired after playing with the Cowboys in 2004, but last season rejoined the Jets, for whom he played from 1998-2003, after starter Chad Pennington and backup Jay Fiedler were injured in the same game. Testaverde, who started four games for the Jets last season, became the first player in NFL history to throw at least one touchdown pass in 19 straight seasons. He completed 60 of 106 passes for 777 yards with one touchdown and six interceptions. He was subsequently replaced by Brooks Bollinger, who had started the season as the team's third stringer.

Sperm Edwards Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Maybe it's to use him as an asst coach/QB coach as well as QB #3. I can't imagine Brady gets a lot of insight from Matt Cassel when he heads to the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Wow. Sucks to think of Vinny wearing a Patriot uniform but this signing is curious. Maybe Vinny wants to try to win a championship as a 2nd or 3rd stringer? If so he could've tried to go to San Diego or Indianapolis... why New England?

Gainzo Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 If you can recall he did come in for a workout in September. I'll put it this way: Troy Brown is the 3rd string/emergency QB for the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put it this way bro: You or I should be the 3rd string / emergency QB for the Pats so we can make 250,000+ a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Vinny has been brought in to coach the exchange from center. Seriously folks I think we roughed up Brady pretty good this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a punchline in here somewhere. I just need to find it. Why would the Pats sign Vinny ? This makes no sense at all. BB isn't going to get anything about the Jets from Vinny. That regime is in K.C. now. They don't play the Chiefs or the Bucs so my guess is that the mad genius has finally lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Seriously folks I think we roughed up Brady pretty good this weekend. Bigtime. I didn't notice it at the game but after watching replay's Brady couldn't plant at all and was slipping and falling all over the place. He is fine. I'm sure he will have a good game against the Farves, I mean Packers, this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanDoug Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I recall some colorful posts by the Patsies on this board last year when Vinny came back for the Jets...... But......nah.....don't feel like looking for them. Many including me think that Vinny might be a very good QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
