I like that the contract requires him to donate to the Humane Society!

Meh, arenafootball2. That's like Go-Karts vs Nascar.

The Firebirds are desperate. They are on the verge of folding and need something big to save the franchise.

No NFL team will want that baggage. There will be protests, season ticket holders turn in their tickets, and lots of bad publicity.
Vick is done and this might be as good as he will be able to do. It isn't like he was that great of a QB anyway, a couple of years of prison really haven't honed his skills. |

If the NFL reinstates him then it is open season for the teams to see who wants to take a chance on him.
Punishment, forgiveness, and apologies aside it is still a business and I really doubt anyone would want to invest seven figures into an average QB with declining skills. His shelf life was limited and now it is fast approaching the expiration date. |

It is going to be like when Mike Tyson got out of prison. He was never the same fighter losing those prime years from his career.

I believe that some NFL team will take him. Will he be anything like the old Vick? I say 50/50. Would I want him? Hell no!

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
Michael Vick, if reinstated, will get a chance in the NFL and there are likely a number of teams who will give him that shot, unless he comes out of prison at 300lbs and can't hold onto a football, which it doesn't sound like. You can't teach the athletic skill he has and he has paid his debt to society and will have this over his head for the rest of his career. For 700K (or so) someone will let him play, he will be the fastest #3 QB in the league. Even if it doesn't happen before training camp, look for a team to pick him up once QB's start getting hurt. :tu

Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
In his last season he had a grand total of 2 rushing TDs and 9 fumbles.
His career rushing stats are 21 TDs and 55 fumbles.... |
Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract
Someone will take a chance. They won't have to pay him big money. Just the veterans minimum. I just doubt he will be able to play QB anywhere. Maybe a switch to another position will help get more teams interested.
