February 21, 200917 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-interestinvick&prov=ap&type=lgns INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Two teams with unsettled quarterback situations—the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings—might be interested in acquiring suspended Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick. Vick is in federal prison on felony charges related to dogfighting and is scheduled to be released in July. The Falcons have said they will try to trade him, though they could cut him and make him a free agent. I'm sure teams will talk about it and most will pass. Would you as an owner or GM or coach or fan want your team to try to sign Vick after he is released from prison?
February 21, 200917 yr I love how Golic said "Any team that gets him knows that animal activists will picket your team for a few weeks" :lol:

February 21, 200917 yr No. He wasn't all that good of a QB before his 3-year+ hiatus. Plus, I would think he'd be a huge distraction for any team that might take a chance on him.
February 21, 200917 yr It depends on what team he would be going to. If it would be like a team life the Dolphins that run the "wildcat" offense I would agree only to that.
February 22, 200917 yr I say the Bengals pull the trigger on a deal and get him into camp as soon as he walks out the prison gates!

February 22, 200917 yr Regardless of his transgressions and the distractions which surround him, some NFL team will take a chance. Vick is/was extremely athletic and not easy for defensives to prepare for. The NFL is a business and cares very little about perception.

The NFL is extremely concerned about its image.
