Sirius just announced, Vick is conditionally reinstated, can practice, and can be eligible to play in regular season games, beginning week 6.

No link yet.

Michael Vick has been conditionally reinstated by NFL - NFL - SI.com

JoeRedskin · 07-27-2009, 03:37 PM

So he is essentially getting a 5 game suspension? I'm okay with that.

Isn't this how it always goes?

"Insert name here" is available and therefore make sense for the Redskins

Because it is Washington. And stranger things have happened. And the fact of the matter is we will in my best guess be getting a new QB next year anyway, maybe sooner....they have tried pretty damn hard to dump JC.

Do I hope its Vick....NO!

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.

He belongs with the Raiders and that circus of A$$ clowns.

MTK · 07-27-2009, 03:49 PM

Vick is still too talented and there is never enough QBs to go around, some team will be interested. He'll get another shot with a NFL team this year I believe.

Perhaps Vick can be "The Last Boyscout" for Oakland?

The NFL is a buisness, and selling jerseys and tickets keeps each team going....I guarantee someone will pick him up!!!!!!Why not the skins,Danny loves money

I guess we can add this line to the Overused Phrase Hall of Fame, along with "Vet Minimum" and "Build through the Draft".

"Insert name here" is available and therefore make sense for the Redskins....at Vet minimum. And Snyder/Cerrato are dumb-asses.

Buffalo Bills.

TO was putting up a big stink to Goodell about Vick being reinstated. TO wants him to come to Buffalo so he can have another big name person to play with him...misery loves company.

Still doesn't matter because Vick's performances won't make a difference on the field for any team this year. What team would QB this guy???
