Mike Vick offered a new contract

Who let the dogs out?

Chattanooga Times Free Press | Michael Vick offered a contract

My guess is that Michael has never worked for $200 a week.

I am watching the E60 report on the dogs, I hope that he spends the rest of his pathetic life struggling to pay bills, and is someday mauled by someone else's abused pit bull.

What he did was really sick and wrong but I thought he got treated unfairly. There has been guys in the past do much worse to human beings and didn't go to prison and still got to play in the league.

I agree 100%. Ray Lewis murdered a man, then won the SuperBowl the next year. Lets not even begin to mention all the drug/sex/physical abuse charges many of the players get. Example...the guy love to abuse...and more importantly abuse women, yet after a slap on the wrist is still playing football. Another example..Matt Jones. He got caught red handed snorting up in his car. I dont recall him getting a very severe punishment.

Maybe his old boss could get him in at Home Depot.

Vick might look pretty good in orange and white.

He has served his time and has paid his debt "legally". I think that he should be reinstated and given an opportunity to play in the NFL again. What he did was awful, but he has paid his debt to society.

He may play again in the NFL. With that being said, I dont know what teams want that distraction on their team. Every single game they play will be filled with Mike Vick taunts/etc. The media will direct much of the focus on Mike Vick, not the game to play. Many people have forgiven him and would welcome him back into the league. With that being said, let him play your favorite team and I bet dog jokes will start. He should go to Cleveland...at least fans wearing dog masks are nothing out of the norm.

"Who let the Dogs Out" would be played over and over again like it was 2000.

I am surpised no teams have inquired about him. There are some teams that Mike Vick would be an improvement on their QB situation.

Character is high on the list of requirements for teams paying a sizable salary to anyone these days.

Take the dog issue away and MV still falls short.

Those who disagree can give me the finger. Michael would.

For some reason he seems like a good fit in Oakland. Dumb owner who wants a QB to throw the ball 70 yards everytime and a crazy fanbase...sounds like a receipe to me

Yes but many of those teams would have to change their entire philosophy and probably a lot of their players to make it work. It will be a year or two before it could be done successfully and when you think about it Vick was never really that successful. His biggest plus was that he would sell seats because of his athleticism, now he would sell seats for an entirely different reason that would cast a huge negative over the organization, at least for a while.

Bottom line is 98% of the teams out there would tell you it just isn't worth it.

Sure, he paid his debt to society...good for him. He has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness....but he doesn't have the right to play in the NFL. That's up to the League to decide.

If one of my employees were jailed for dog-fighting, he wouldn't have an opportunity to rejoin my staff after he completed his prison time.

Mort just said he's hearing that "three or four" teams are possibly interested and that he thinks MV will be playing this season.

That's too bad.
