Vinny Testaverde joined the Patriots last November, but this year he'll be aboard a bit earlier. Currently a free agent, Testaverde told Sporting News Radio yesterday he has an arrangement with the Patriots to return for the 2007 season. "After two-a-days are over, I'll go back and sign my contract," said Testaverde, who turns 44 in November. 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.
