Talk about a move that comes out of left field. Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that the Eagles have signed Michael Vick to a 2 year contract. You all know the story about Vick, who has been out of the league for two years, so I won't rehash all the gory details here.What the Eagles plan to do with the former quarterback, I have no clue. Many have speculated that Vick could play some kind of Wildcat role in an NFL offense, but that seems redundant since DeSean Jackson can already do that. The Eagles already have three quarterbacks on the roster, but they could be planning on having him compete with Kevin Kolb and A.J. Feeley for the backup spot. The Eagles are obviously planning to utilize his athleticism and use him as a weapon on offense in some way.
UPDATE: Vick's contract is for 1.6 million dollars this season plus a team option for 2010 worth 5.2 million. In other words, he better be really good or the Eagles won't pick up that option.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!???????
ReplyDeleteone question....
what has Eagles coaches, managers, and owners been smoking....
serously....
you have to wonder...
He was a great player before, let's hope he hasn't lost anything.
ReplyDeleteVick is back. The eagles are an interesting place for him to land. Reid has a history of having a great backup QB so this shoudln't be a surprise, well see how they use him. looking forward to the preseason now.
