For six years, Vinny Testaverde lived every kid's fantasy: He played quarterback for his hometown team. It has been a memorable run with the Jets, highlighted by his signature season in 1998, but the realities of pro football have set in. The extended homecoming is over for Vinny from Elmont.
Testaverde, 40, won't be back with the Jets, an NFL source told the Daily News yesterday.
The Jets, preparing to unload several aging veterans with the free-agency signing period approaching next week, are expected to make an announcement tomorrow on Testaverde's future, the source said.
Coach Herman Edwards said over the weekend at the scouting combine in Indianapolis that he was planning to meet with Testaverde this week, an indication that a decision was near. It isn't going to be a bitter divorce; call it a mutual separation, one that will come after June 1.
