Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
I'm sure there are plenty of QBs but name one other with the character issues that an NFL team would take a chance on let alone invest money into.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
He was a lottery pick with more athletic ability than some of the running backs in the NFL. Unless he can't pick up a football, he will get a chance to prove himself again. For $700K there are a lot of teams who would be willing to replace a back-up QB on their roster who probably makes significantly more with far less mobility, agility and speed. He is going to have all kinds of clauses in his contract that will allow teams to release him for crossing the street in the wrong direction. Already the interest in him has been started and a number of teams will be waiting for his reinstatement to work him out.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
It'll be interesting to see what happens for sure.
I see him more of going the way of Barry Bonds though. No one wants that circus in town. |

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
Barry Bonds is more of a pariah because he cheated on the game (alledgedly) and he is 57 years old and good for one thing: hitting. Michael Vick is still under 30 and can still contribute to a team. Negative publicity will follow but a few touchdowns will take care of most of that with fans (probably not with PETA).

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
If he is reinstated I will bet a 5'er that he gets atleast one workout for an NFL team

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
I think the wager should be if he gets signed by an NFL team. A workout is free and is non-commital by the team.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
If he comes out of jail at 300 lbs then there is no chance. He will get a shot, but he has to be in physical condition to do so.

A 5'er if he makes a team contingent on being reinstated.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
Just makes a team, or has to play in a game? Because a lot of #2 QB's and almost every #3 don't play a snap in a regular season game.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
He will get another shot in the NFL for one simple reason: The Wildcat offense. He would be perfectly suited to run that.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
If he is a great QB he should be able to handle taking one snap.
My argument was that he was average at best to start with, without his scrambling legs he would have been cut a long time ago. |

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
I think it would be fitting if the Browns signed him.

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
Never claimed he was great, just saying he will get a chance to get back into the NFL as long as he is still in football shape. But if he has to take a snap, OK. If he doesn't play atleast one more snap in the NFL, assuming he is reinstated, I will send you a 5'er.
