NFL Rumor Central: Does Vick have a future in Frisco?

BUCS DON’T WANT VICK
Posted by Mike Florio on February 14, 2009, 11:56 a.m.

The Falcons have placed a quarterback familiar with the term “cell block” onto the trading block. And one team already has said that it’s not interested in acquiring him.

According to Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune, count out the Buccaneers.

“No, I don’t see that in our future,” G.M. Mark Dominik told Cummings.

Our guess is that most teams will feel the same way, especially in the unlikely event that Vick is reinstated for all or part of the 2009 season.

Vick’s return, whenever (if ever) if happens, will draw heavy criticism from the team that acquires him. And with the economic downturn making more franchises than ever fret about their ability to consistenly sell all of the tickets in the stadium, the presence of a player like Vick could be the difference between keeping the balance sheet in the black — and having home games blacked out.

Lions don't want him either. Who does want to trade for him?

Well acording to this article/blog the UFL might want him.
The UFL still wants Michael Vick - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I think it's time for a title change for the thread. Something along the lines of "Falcons Place Vick on Trading Block"

I agree Dirtbag. At this point it makes more sense. Mods?

Uh oh -- Peter King has Vick pegged for possibly going to Dallas, Oakland, or Washington (simply based on the facts that their owners do what they want).

Fred Taylor could help New England, Pittsburgh - Peter King - SI.com

Please say it isn't so.

The reason Vick shouldn't be in the league doesn't have to do with his jail sentence. It has everything to do with him being one of the most overrated QB's of all time. He is a decent running back lined up behind the center, but is NOT an NFL starting-caliber QB.

Sorry but his winning % shows he can play in the NFL. He is just not a traditional type NFL QB but he does seem to find ways to win.

Please define an NFL starting caliber QB. I love this criticism whether it be for Vick or Campbell or whomever. Help us all out and spell out what that means.

I doubt anyone expects Vick to return to the NFL as purely a starting QB. He will likely have to return as an 'athlete' who can do multiple things, throw, run, catch, maybe return kicks. He's undeniably talented and despite what you think of him as a person or as a 'pure' QB he's got amazing natural ability on the field. Some franchise is going to pick him up and do quite well for themselves as a result.

NINERS JUST SAY NO TO VICK
Posted by Mike Florio on February 17, 2009, 10:44 p.m.

If Monday night’s equivocation regarding Falcons quarterback Mike Vick was intended to be a trial balloon, all we can say is . . . . pop goes the weasel ’cause the weasel goes pop.

“The 49ers are not interested in Michael Vick,” a team spokesman told Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat on Tuesday evening.

And so the Anti-Vick List adds a fifth team.

SmootSmack · 02-17-2009, 11:39 PM

Can't help but wonder if the Niners really aren't interested or if they're just covering their bases in case anyone thinks they may be tampering.
