Did the Falcons have any other choice?

I mean Vick should have taken the high road and sat himself out until this thing is over. Their is no need to put this pressure on the team and his team mates. You know that any interview that a team mate of his will do Vick is going to be the topic of discussion....

I was simply opening up for debate whether or not the Falcons had other options (i.e.-ignore the NFL, cut him, etc.). To me, it seemed that they really had no choice given the mandate from Roger Goodell of the NFL. However, there has been much discussion on why Arthur Blank didn't just cut Vick from the team (i.e.-salary cap hit, NFLPA, etc.)
