There certainly hasn’t been a shortage of Michael Vick talk lately as everyone was trying to guess which NFL team he would land on next. The Michael Vick sweepstakes is now officially over and he has a new home. The fastest quarterback ever in the NFL will no longer be suiting up in his number 7 uniform that he wore for the Atlanta Falcons. He may get his same number, but now the jersey will have a lot of green in it.

Mr. Vick didn’t change his feathers much, but he has replaced Falcon feathers for the Eagles feathers. Michael Vick has agreed to a new two year deal that will have him suiting up on Sundays in a Philly uniform. It’s not clear why the Eagles won his services, since they do have 2 other solid quarterbacks on their roster right now. From Vick’s perspective, he may have wanted a team that had the Atlanta Falcons on their schedule this year and the Philadelphia Eagles will travel to the Georgia Dome to play the Atlanta Falcons on December 6. That should be one hot ticket in Hotlanta as Vick comes home to play his former team.

I think this is a good move for the Eagles or any other NFL team that wanted his services. A two year lay off may present some rust for Vick, but he’s still better than most of the players in the league, even if he has slowed down. It shouldn’t take him too long to get back into game shape and I wouldn’t even be surprised to see him starting in week 12 when they do face the Atlanta Falcons.

What are your thoughts on Michael Vick? Should he still have a job in the NFL? Has he paid for his crimes? Will he be as good as the old Michael Vick?
