According to ESPN.com, Michael Vick could be urged to take a voluntary leave of absence from the Falcons so he can concentrate on his upcoming court proceedings.
There are, however, two critical components that must be resolved: Falcons owner Arthur Blank must be on board with a plan that has generated considerable discussion at the league level the past two days. And Vick, who might be reluctant to accept even a paid hiatus from the game, might have to be convinced that the leave could be his best option right now.
Art, this is currently your best option, get on board with it now. Mike, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself for the mess you found yourself in, so you shouldn’t have to be “convinced” to take a paid leave. You’re a distraction right now for your coaches, teammates and fans. Take a seat on the sidelines while everything continues to be gathered and for once, don’t be selfish.
