Vick signs a six-year, $100 million contract.

[Jangler]

You know we live in a messed up society when thousands of children die of starvation every day yet this man, a convicted felon who tortured innocent animals, gets paid $100,000,000.00 to play a child's game. o_O

[Delhommey]

Who said it did? I smell a Vick fanboy. o_O

I smell a poster being contrarian because he's desperate for attention.

[Mr ocho nueve]

So, the guy has a terrible performance in a game, then gets rewarded with a big contract?

Jake Delhomme syndrome must be catching on.

[Mr. Scot]

Football players, actors, singers, politicians, CEOs and loads of others earn ridiculous salaries while other people barely make ends meet (or don't).

That's the world we live in. Can't really blame Vick for that.

[Jangler]

^^^ Nope, and America is all about second chances. Vick got his and hopefully we be a better person for it.

[MadHatter]

Philly will end up regretting this move.

He played great during the first half of last season....then really tailed off. Teams figured him out again. Now he is not looking fantastic this preseason.

I think he will fall back to earth this season as a mid-tier QB.

Just my opinion.....we wills ee if I am right.

[Carolina Husker]

No athlete is worth that kind of money. That kind of money could be used to improve th quality of life in our dying world.

[bleys]

so glad Philly paid him instead of us.. damn we dodged a bullet..

[GritsRgreat]

dam right!:)

but still stuck with you know who..:(

[Darth Biscuit]

I'm with Kurb, I don't begrudge him this contract either...

How much money does he still owe creditors? Gotta be able to pay that off now...

I just hope he continues to keep his head on straight and doesn't fall back in the trap with his old friends and lifestyle. Hopefully he has some "no" men around him now.

[countryboi]

with Vick's running ability...I dont know if he will ever be a mid tier QB.....even when his passing skills were much worse than this he was the top tier QB...even though he was a lot faster

[Johnny Rockets]

I'm not hating on Vick for his contract, I'm just wondering how the hell the Eagles' afford it.

And why they keep paying these random players, like Babin, and they still haven't given DJax any money. What is up with that?

Signing Vick to this contract frees up money to sign DJax to a long term deal. Nothing could be done with DJax until the Vick deal was done.

Eagles are probably the most cap minded team in the NFL and no one does it better then them. Howie Roseman was hired by the Eagles over 10 years ago to do nothing but be a cap specialist and now he is the GM. He is a salary cap genius.

[Matt Foley]

It's worth it if he gets to play the Redskins 16 times.

[GritsRgreat]

It's worth it if he gets to play the Redskins 16 times.

idk they did knock him out for a few games in their 1st meeting last season.

Rib shot i believe.
