Michael Vick May Be Reinstated Into The NFL
By Randall Stevens ♦ Published 07/24/2009

Michael VickLooks like fallen NFL QB, Michael Vick, may just get another chance in the league.

According to ESPN, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reportedly decided on a conditional reinstatement that would allow Vick to attend training camp if he signs with a team. However, he could be suspended for the first four games of the 2009 season.

The report said that Goodell met with Vick, his agent and two other members of his camp, but nothing was officially confirmed.

The commissioner suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the former Falcons quarterback admitted bankrolling a dog fighting operation. Since the, the NFL player has been the center of controversy.

He was sentenced to 23 months in prison, two months of which he served on home confinement.

Earlier this year, it was rumored that Vick was searching for a reality show deal. He reportedly owes millions to creditors.

Before the dogfighting fiasco, Vick was one of the NFL's highest-paid players, signing a $130 million, 10-year deal with the Falcons in December 2004. After he went to prison, the team filed a claim to recover bonuses he had earned from 2004 through 2007. The remainder of Vick's Atlanta contract was reportedly worth at least $45.11 million.

If Vick is not signed by an NFL team, ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen says he'll have an option to sign with the upstart United Football League, set to begin play in October and finish its inaugural season on Thanksgiving weekend. Under UFL policy, he would be free to sign with the NFL once the UFL season ends.

While UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue has not cleared Vick to sign with his league, the quarterback's rights have been assigned to Orlando, coached by former Saints coach Jim Haslett.

Stay tuned to see how this pans out.

    dam, gerard you took the words right out of my mouth...

  • deddog

    let's remember that this sick fuk admitted to killing (with his own hands) seven dogs... by means of drowning, electrocution, and "slamming into a concrete floor." yeah, so basically, if the dogs weren't up to vick's fighting standards, he would brutally extinguish their lives (not to mention he authorized the killing of many more dogs)... HE COULD EASILY HAVE AFFORDED TO EUTHANIZE THEM WITH MEDS, IMPLYING HE PROBABLY ENJOYED IT...

  • deddog

    keep in mind everyone that this piece of shit also had a 60 some million dollar endorsement deal... but he'd rather be dogfighting for chump change... that's cause vick's a chump... a dirty, worthless, unintelligent, cowardly, evil, sadistic chump... and all these idiots are supporting him just cause he can throw a ball and run fast... dumb m0therfuckers...

  • deddog

    but yeah good look mr. albert... where's myoxbig with his ignorant ass talkin bout free vick, oxbig have you ever even seen a dog fight let alone what happens afterward... you're justa another dumb wanna be g, plenty of those

  • deddog

    ...i love how ignorant folk want to make everything a race issue... hate to say it, it's not a race issue... any human being that tortures animals purely for fun ceases to be a human being... a year in resort prison was too good for this piece of shit... the hillbillies in VA all think he should play again... yeah all the white trash in newport news and va beach think he should be reinstated too... apparently only the uneducated think he should play again...

  • Mac

    @deddog: Im sure you aint no saint either so in closing, please SHUUUUUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!

  • deddog

    ...far from it... never tortured animals tho, so get my dick out of your mouth "mac"

  • …well alright

    ...deddog makes some valid points. the crimes were brutal and senseless "for his status" that is. one thing i know about dog fighting is killing the dog after he lost the fight doesn't make him fight any better - so he played himself with the killings. however, according to our justice system, his time has been served. "don't hate the player - hate the game" let him play!!!

  • Mac

    @deddog: thats funny coming from a nigga wit tha name...DED DOG. Now go wipe my cum off your chin fukkboi and while you at it couple you please tell your moms she better have my beanpies when i see her or ima kick her ass...
