Peter King of SI.com speculates that once the Falcons release Michael Vick, two landing spots for the suspended quarterback could be Oakland and Tampa Bay.
8. I think I’m dying to know who’s going to try to sign Mike Vick when the Falcons release him. Two teams come to mind: Oakland and Tampa Bay. The Bucs are longshots, but I don’t think new GM Mark Dominick is afraid of him.
The Raiders are an easy choice, but I think King is on the right track in tossing out teams that nobody expects to take on a shot on Vick. Tampa is a long shot, but they have a new GM and head coach and could be looking for a quarterback. The Jets are another team that comes to mind that needs a quarterback and has a strong presence at head coach now in Rex Ryan that could handle Vick. (Although the New York media would absolutely hammer Vick on a daily basis.)
I don’t think you could count out a team like Washington taking a shot on Vick either with Daniel Snyder at the helm. Snyder doesn’t seem entirely sold on Jason Campbell (him trying to trade Campbell last week is evidence of that) and he’s never shy about the flashy signing. Is Vick a good fit for the West Coast Offense? No. But neither is Byron Leftwich and Snyder is pursing him.

Snyder is more of a businessman than an NFL intellect, and would love to start selling Vick jerseys. Could see some teams want to throw him in a wildcat formation. You know someone’s gonna take a shot at him. What about even The cardinals-wisenhunt likes those gadget plays and has a 94 yr old QB and a youngster that they apparently hate.
I am disgusted to know that some NFL teams are considering taking Vick back. He played the wrong game by abusing those defenceless dogs so now he must pay! 23 months it is not enough to make up for all the pain and suffering those poor dogs went through while he was enjoying it. If he ends up joining any team I hope he plays like the loser he is!
I AGREE WITH STEPH, VICK IS A LOSER, HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO EVEN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY LET ALONE GET PAID MILLIONS TO THROW A FOOTBALL AROUND! HE’S NOT A MAN, HE’S A COWARD! KEEP HIS SORRY A$$ IN JAIL!!
You know what…i hate stories like this…only cause as much as i love michale vick and seeing how we are a country based on second chances…and yes michale vick deserves one cause i can think of worst things he could have done…believe you me i would LOVE him in a bucs uniform…however, i always get my hopes up and things like this never happen!!!
The torture and abuse that Michael Vick delivered to Pitt Bulls is appalling.
He should never be reinstated to the NFL, nor should he be compensated for his crimes by having his own reality tv show.
I am a die hard football fan, but if Michael Vick goes back on the field, I’m DONE!
I am just sick to my stomach… I am a die-hard football fan..But where does it stop…I think sports players have a responsibily to the public to conduct themselves in a certain manner and Vick does not deserve a second chance he blew it by torturing those dogs..I think with all his money he could have found a more humane hobby…
Now, let’s not get crazy Loraine. I hate what Vick did as much as anyone, but the game is a lot bigger than one guy. There are guys playing who’ve done a lot worse (check out Leonard Little on wikipedia), yet you still watch today. At least Goodell is making an attempt to clean up the league of player problems that past commissioners completely ignored.
you all are so retarded… who cares about some stupid dogs. Had any of you met these cute little guys, they would have ripped your throats out cause they were BRED to do so… Those dogs got to live out their birthrights,I didn’t hear about any of those dogs being castrated like most people do to their pets. I sure as hell know that I would rather fight someone to the death than have my balls chopped off. The samurai would consider their deaths honorable, stop being a bunch of little babies… They are dogs! They think on a one year old level and have zero concept of right and wrong. Yes, they are great to have, but its not like Vick was selling cocaine, or driving intoxicated while KILLING PEOPLE in the streets of Miami or Stabbing people to death in a limousine with a butcher knife (Ray Lewis). Put this into perspective people, animals vs people… No argument that Vick is retarded for bankrolling such a paltry operation that I’m sure generated
EVOLBOSS-You are a retard, Lorraine-you are a retard. T-Bone you have reasonable sense, and AMANDA and STEPH, you are both retards and I’m impressed that you ignoramus mentally challenged morons could actually type out that message. Obviously, the special education system in our country is working effectively. Good for them, at least our tax money is being spent well.
It is only animals come on he is not a killer man vick is the best black quaterback ever and everyone does deserve a second chance like you would also want a second chance for writing that dumb shit you wrote I don’t give a damn about those dogs, have you ever been attacked by one you wouldn’t like those cute like bitches no more well vick need to get back in the NFL or I am done watching if he doesn’t
