**UPDATE**: Vick Not Likely to Be Indicted Following Raid

I really don't think he'll get cut for this. It's not good press, that's for sure, but I don't see them cutting him.... We didn't get rid of ST when he got arrested.

I think he'll get cut at seasons end because it allows the Falcons to rid themselves of a player who is hindering their offense while satisfing the PR side of the game.

I don't believe Vick is going anywhere soon due to the salary cap hit, it would be over $ 16 million this season. If the Falcons do release him at some point it would probably be after June 1, 2008 when the hit would be lower and could be spread over 2008 & 2009 caps.

I don't think Vick is going anywhere. I don't think he is ever going to be a 65% passer. That is not his strength. That's also not what makes a good QB. Some guys, like Ben R. McNabb, Vince Young and Vick are playmakers, not pure pocket guys. He doesn't turn it over that much and he does not have good WR's so keep that in mind too. But he has gotten his team to the NFC Champ, Div round and made a Pro Bowl or two. Alot of guys in the NFL have not done that. So far IMO he is a middle of the pack NFL QB.

So you really think they are going to cut arguably the most popular player in the league?

The man hasn't been charged with a single thing and people are talking about him being released.

And I am the one characterized as an "alarmist fool" for sharing the viewpoint of the beat reporter and one of top sportswriters in the country. Funny how things are viewed around here...
