MIKE VICK TO DA EAGLES--RETURN TO ATLANTA IN DECEMBER

2-years per ESPN
Quarterback Michael Vick has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, his agent, Joel Segal, confirmed to ESPN.com.

Vick was the No. 1 draft pick in 2001, and once the highest-paid player in football. But he has not played since 2006 when his career came tumbling down. He was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation, sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

But after serving his time and being released from home confinement July 20, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick's suspension, allowing him to sign with a team.

I'm curious to see what kind of shape he's in. I'm also glad that he has McNabb as well as Tony Dungee to mentor him.

Good for him!


I can't wait to see his first game! I, too, am curious to see what type of shape he's in.



Smooches;)

This is a good move. It's good for Michael Vick because he goes to an established team with the starting quarterback already in place, and Michael Vick gets a chance to get into football shape without much of the backlash being aimed at him since he would be coming off the bench. Plus if Donovan McNabb retires in the next few years and Vick gets back to his Pro Bowl form, he can step in as the starting quarterback.

Well, I guess they're through dogging him

This move means Vick will stay a bird, which he's been since he started college.

will they be called the Beagles now?

This is a ridiculous move. Donovan shoulda bounced when he had a chance. Yet another slap in his face and shows that they don't respect him one bit.

I think it's a great move. They're not going to replace him at all. Donovan is the starting QB. Vick is a wild card. I'm looking forward to the Eagles getting them in the game together at some point.

If Donovan had not had the shaky relationship with the coach, the owners, AND the city of Philly that he has I MIGHT agree. But there's just too much history there for them to throw Vick in as yet another controversy WAITING to happen. At least this time when the shit explodes ya'll can't blame TO.

Kevin Kolb must be more hurt than they're saying..Donovan KNOWS he's on his last two years max...Vick already played in a west coast offense and until he learns the system he can always run the wildcat or option...or the eagles could let him get in shape and use him as trade bait when another team has a injury at QB.It kind of make sense,I thought the Ravens would do it,but hey...
