I don't know what kind of access Michael Vick has had to newspapers, magazines and the Internet in prison, but it seems like the news that he is no longer a hot commodity has not yet filtered down to Michael Vick.

In papers he submitted to a bankruptcy court, Vick indicated that he plans on making $10 million per season, which I'm pretty sure would be a record for an ex-con who had a career quarterback rating of 75.7 when he went away. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

The embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback is hoping to earn as much as $10 million a year or more, according to court filings in his bankruptcy case. Under the plan he submitted to the court, Vick would keep the first $750,000 of his annual income over the next five years. After that, a percentage would go to his creditors based on a sliding scale. [...]

In a March 4 court filing, Vick’s attorneys say he “has every reason to believe upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living.”

“He is hopeful to play quarterback,” Daniel Meachum, an attorney and business manager for Vick, said in an interview. “There is no person with his talent in that position in all the league.”

That may have been true at one time, but there are also no quarterbacks in the league who have spent the last nine months sitting in a jail cell and eating prison food. I'm not a nutritionist or anything, but I'm pretty sure that's not what NFL team doctors would recommend for keeping a guy in optimum game shape.

The fact of the matter is that no one knows how Vick will perform when he gets out of the joint, though it seems extraordinarily unlikely that he'll look exactly the same as he did when he went in. Factor in the amount of teams scared off by the P.R. nightmare, and I think we're looking at a salary closer to $605,000, which was last year's veteran minimum for a seventh-year player.

This guy is a PR nightmare. Making statements like that is not helping matters ether. Really I would be surprised if any team touches him this year because he is prob way out of shape and his mechanics were horrible to start with.

Not sure if there is any stipulation in his sentencing or not that won't allow it but something tells me there will be more than enough companies wanting to buy his rights for a book deal and/or movie deal which could be rather lucrative. He could also pimp himself out like Octomom and sell is story to news agencies also. If he came out of prison making millions each year whether it be in the NFL or elsewhere it would not surprise me.

Will it happen? Don't know....but it won't surprise me especially as long as Al Davis still runs the Raiders and tabloid magazines/shows continue to make many millions off this kind of stuff.

      Thomas Brown an OC Again

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Looks so much like a lot of 2023 Panthers pass charts.  When a franchise fires the last guy for bad time management, yesterday likely sealed Brown's fate. Also the fact this is the second rookie QB he has struggled to work with, that's a big black mark on his resume regardless of how much of the responsibility falls on him. Caleb needs protection more than anything else. Yes, some of that is on him but there were times when he had no chance. Caleb's body language is really worrying, though, because if there's one definite advantage Bryce has over Caleb, it's the mental part. Caleb had some moments during his senior year that had me worried whether he could handle adversity at the highest level. Not to say he can't suddenly play better if/when things improve, but it may be tougher for him.

      Last 2 Games: Let's See What We have on the Roster

      By MHS831 · Posted

      They are on an NFL roster now, and you build the roster from the bottom up.  Who are you going to keep (most are projects of some sort) and who are you going to move away from?  Another point--some players develop and mature at different rates--some players are "gamers" and not good practice players.  You could try Farley at S, for example.  You could see if Velus Jones can make a play or two from various spots (RB, WR, KR).  What is the reason you wouldn't?
