Michael Vick's post-prison job prospects look pretty good - Shutdown Corner... - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I heard something about this story the other day on the radio. I would be astonished if he ended up playing for them. As far as I know, he's still under contract with the Falcons and I've got to assume that the Falcons' lawyer had half a brain and made sure to include broad noncompete clauses in the contract.

I believe he settled with Atlanta. He's paying his debt to society so when he gets out he should be allowed to make a living. I would think that a team from Canada would sign him.

He might have settled the SB payback issue with the team, but he's still under contract as far as I know.

I'm sure Mr. Blank would let him out of his contract. Unless he plans on keeping him. He's a business man and if Matt Ryan doesn't pan out I could see Vick going back to Atlanta if his skills are still there. But isn't Vick facing state charges too? I'm not sure how that works out but I'd assume he can't be charged twice. Anyway I hope he finally gets his life together one day. He's got kids to take care of and they need a father.

The state charges are going after different crimes than what the federal case charged him with. The only reason the fed's got involved was because the state (maybe the city) dragged their feet and did not press any charges. There where thought that the prosicuter was trying to sheild Vick from charges. The fed's got involved and took matters into their own hands.
