Michael Vick might seem like a good fit on the Eagles. But there’s a good chance he won’t be with the team next year. Vick’s own words and salary requirements indicate that he might move to a new team in 2010.
When asked about returning to the Eagles in 2010, Michael Vick said it would be “an everyday struggle” and that he doesn’t want to be pigeonholed as a Wildcat guy. He’s also due a massive $5.2 million if Philadelphia picks up his team option next year. As a result, it’s highly unlikely that Vick would return to the team for a second season.
Tony Dungy recently mentioned that Buffalo could be a destination for Vick. They had engaged in initial negotiations with the former Falcon’s quarterback before he signed with the Eagles. Dungy also says that teams thin at QB such as Cleveland, St. Louis, and Washington could be interested in Vick.
There’s no way that Cleveland hands over the reins to Vick since they pay so much money to Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn. Even if they get rid of Quinn, Anderson makes around $8 million per year and it would be tough to pay him that much to be a backup (again). St. Louis and Washington both seem like teams that need to start over with rookie quarterbacks. Other than those teams, the Raiders and Panthers could be options. Though Dungy has previously mentioned that he advised Vick against considering Oakland. Buffalo seems like it could be the best fit.
But don’t rule the Vikings out of the Michael Vick sweepstakes. If Favre doesn’t come back (but I think he will), Vick could be a great option for a team that’s already solid on both sides of the ball. A Favre-less Vikings team could easily cover Vick’s contract since Favre is due about $10 million next year. Another interesting potential fit would be in Tennessee. Vince Young is due upwards of $4 million in a roster bonus and $7.5 million in salary for 2010. Unless the Titans decide he’s the quarterback of the future or restructure his deal, it would be extremely difficult to pay that price for a mediocre quarterback.

WHO CARES????? He should be thankful they even let him back into the NFL at all. He should not be complaining about his team and his salary. To me, the man is a discrace, and should never have been let back around the game of football. Maybe the best thing to do is to throw him out of the league alltogether.
Man shut up with all that hatin!! Vick is the best QB period and we need em here in Carolina!!!!
Vick is a dog iller
he must go
he does not to live let play
Vick is a dog killer
he must go from Eagles and any other team
he does not deserve to live
let play
he is a disgrace
aside from the dog shit how can a guy who's a backup QB now and was out of the game for as long as he was possibly demand $5.2 million? he should be kissing the commisioners ass for letting him back in and calm down with the ridiculous salary demands.
you are all stupid, hes not demanding the 5.2 million it is a team option on his contract. he should start next season, he is a playmaker and is still better than a good bit of qbs in the league now.
who cares about the dogs!!!!
Damm get over the dog crap, let it go already. Your all jealous because he lives a lifestyle much better than yours and you cant do anything about it.
honestly let the dogfighting bit go, yall are pretty lame for saying he doesnt deserve to live?? what the hell is that, i bet your the same kind of person who says ray lewis is a great posterboy for the nfl huh??? shut up about the damn dogs and watch football, root against vick so he can make you look stupid.
