Re: Goodell Orders Vick to Stay Home
"The NFL said Vick would still get his preseason pay and Goodell told the Falcons to withhold any disciplinary action of their own until the league's review was completed."
Preseason pay for a NFL veteran is only 1,100 a week.
From what I've read and heard the Falcons owner feels like Vick has been lying to him for years and doesn't want to pay Vick his 07' salary of 6 million to sit the year out. Not only that, but the Falcons are ready to take the huge cap hit they will face by cutting him.
Even if he is cleared of these charges his days as a Falcon are defiantly over.
