BROWNS Crennel considers Testaverde return

If Ken Dorsey doesn't develop, Cleveland may sign the 42-year-old.
BEREA (AP) -- Without speaking his name, Browns coach Romeo Crennel indicated there's a player available who can step in if Ken Dorsey can't fill the backup quarterback role behind Charlie Frye.
Here's a hint: He's 42 and played for Cleveland a decade ago.
"I've got a guy in mind who knows the system," Crennel said. "He might be a little older than I am but he can still line up."
Crennel said he hadn't contacted Vinny Testaverde, but added that it's a call the team could make late in training camp if necessary.
"If that were the name that I was thinking about, he could come in on Friday and boom -- he'd be good to go on Sunday," Crennel said.
While Frye looked solid during minicamp and earned praise from Crennel for taking a leadership role and making plays, Dorsey looked shaky, getting one pass blocked and another intercepted by an undrafted rookie free agent Sunday.
Testaverde played in six games, starting four, last season for the New York Jets after season-ending injuries to Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler. He threw six interceptions and one touchdown, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw at least one touchdown pass in 19 straight seasons.
Testaverde played in Cleveland from 1993-1995, a tumultuous time for the franchise, in which he replaced Bernie Kosar and the team moved to Baltimore.
Options
A veteran like Testaverde would give the Browns someone to work with Frye, a third-round pick in 2005 who quickly found himself in the starting role after Trent Dilfer became unhappy in Cleveland.
Crennel is giving Dorsey time, though. The fourth-year player was acquired early last month in a trade with San Francisco for Dilfer.
"At this time, Ken is still learning the system," Crennel said. "We've got to get to training camp to give him a shot to see what he looks like there. He's improving and he's picking things up. If that continues in training camp, we'll be OK."
The Browns left minicamp feeling further along than they were in Crennel's first season, safety Brian Russell said.
"We're so far beyond the stage we were last year," Russell said. "We know the system. We know each other. We've been through a season."
Crennel is waiting until the players are in pads to make any firm assessments about his team.
"We're a better team on paper. But I tell everybody we have to be better on the field," Crennel said. "Whether we're better on the field only time will tell."
