Re: The Vick Factor
I would definitely take a chance on Mike Vick. I don't care about his past, I believe he learned a lot from this incident. (That's clearly not based on an interview, I'm just assuming) But I believe Vick is going to be a good player in the league again, maybe not great, but a good one and I'd take a chance on him

Re: The Vick Factor
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?

Re: The Vick Factor
Ya, I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything about his release from the Falcons, I've been watching ESPN and saw nothing on it too. I'd like to see a link as well.

Re: The Vick Factor
Are you sure you're not confusing being released by the Falcons with being released from prison into home custody?

Re: The Vick Factor
Wonder if Vick will ever play again or if he may go to Canada?
