Vinny on radio

Here is some of the Q&A from Vinny Testaverde from his interview on Sporting News radio today. The 43-year-old Testaverde was a guest on Tony Bruno's show.

We saw you talking with Chiefs coach Herman Edwards. Are you going to be back in the NFL, joining the Kansas City Chiefs?
"You guys are right, I'll be back in the NFL but it won't be with the Chiefs. I'll actually be playing for the Patriots again this year."

Has that been announced?
"No, after two-a-days are over [in training camp] I'll go back and sign my contract. I'll wait until then."

Do you think the Patriots are the team to beat?
"There are a lot of good teams out there. Right now, I think with the talent we have, if we can stay healthy, we have a good chance to do something special. Now, it's about getting to training camp and ironing out some things that need to be worked out, and we'll go from there."

WRAP-UP: The 2007 season will be Testaverde's 21st in the NFL. Testaverde's locker has remained intact at Gillette Stadium and he participated in the team's offseason passing camps and June's full-team minicamp. The team has three quarterbacks on the roster -- Tom Brady, Matt Cassel and rookie free agent Matt Gutierrez.
