I read somewhere that he's expected to sign in the latter part of camp after the two a days are over.

Eh I hope they start out the year with only two QBs so they can use the spot for another position.

He mentioned in that article it would be after two a days..a few weeks..if/when he is needed. A shadow roster QB in waiting.

I'm sure they could always sign him during the season if they really need him.

Thats kinda funny. He refuses to sign a contract until the brutal 2 aday practice schedules are a thing of the past.

I guess when you're 43 and respected by BB you can do what the hell you want.

Maybe that's Asante's strategy? Skip the 2-A-days?

Think about it. He's spent 21 years in the league and if you figure 6 weeks, give or take of training camp, Vinny has spent 126 weeks, or 2.5 years of his life in training camp and suffering thru 2 a days. Put that in the 'been there, done that' category.Se you in late August....

I have no problem with it. I respect the hell out of Vinny T and what hes done over his career. Hes a good guy for Brady to talk to, he knows the offense and can give you a couple of games to start in an emergency. I just think it's funny that he has that level of repore and understanding with BB. Very cool.

I met him once down at Disney waiting to get on Tower of Terror when he was with the Jets. Real nice guy.

But will he pass the conditioning test? No pass, no play!

He'll pass it. Vinny T is a gym rat. Keeps himself in great shape all year round.

Or maybe he'll take BB out for a couple of beers and miraculously pass it ;-)
