Vick's done. Like skinsfan said, the only way a team will pick him up is after playing in another league for at least a year (and then he'd be 30-31). Too much risk -- money and PR -- for a guy who hasn't played in 2 years. Teams aren't going to want to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for a potential PR nightmare on a guy who hasn't played recently, and is approaching 30. Even if they did, what would happen? He'd play next year, when he's 30-31 after learning a new offense? No way.

I'll bet he's still got the arm -- 29 isn't that old. However, I'd be worried about his legs. Plus, he was never very accurate. Don't see much benefit for anyone picking him up.

I guess the only way I wouldn't be totally surprised is if a team picked him up for ticket sales, as SS suggested.
