Some folks have said here they want Michael Vick here to sit behind Jason Campbell as an insurance policy. That leads me to pose two questions...

1. When Michael Vick went to court for his bankruptcy filing about 2 months ago, his projection for his future NFL earnings showed $10M over the first two years after being reinstated. Unless my calculator is broken, that is just a bit more than "vet minimum"... For those who want him as an insurance policy, would you still want him at something approaching $5M/year? Remember, Danny Boy rarely underpays the people he signs.

2. Michael Vick is still the property of the Atlanta Falcons and therefore, he can be traded by the Falcons to another team. For those who want him as an insurance policy, what would you be willing to give to the Falcons in order to make certain that Michael Vick winds up here in Washington as opposed to anywhere else in the NFL?
