The embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback is hoping to earn as much as $10 million a year or more, according to court filings in his bankruptcy case. Under the plan he submitted to the court, Vick would keep the first $750,000 of his annual income over the next five years. After that, a percentage would go to his creditors based on a sliding scale.
Heh, didn't know they allowed widespread consumption of crack cocaine in prison now, oh well. Here this dumbass thinks an NFL team is going to pay a QB who was never that good to begin with 10 million dollars a fucking year. Unless the dollar becomes really really fucking devalued by the time Vick gets out of the joint and a Wendy's happy meal costs $6,000 I doubt anybody's gonna find 10 mil as a small sum of cash to throw away on this dickhead.
In a March 4 court filing, Vick’s attorneys say he “has every reason to believe upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living.”
...yea. If Vick gets league minimum salary for vets and they split him out wide as a utility player he should be fucking grateful an NFL team gave him the chance to do anything.“He is hopeful to play quarterback,” Daniel Meachum, an attorney and business manager for Vick, said in an interview. “There is no person with his talent in that position in all the league.”
Heh. Apparently 4 years of college plus 2-3 years of law school just doesn't make you very smart does it. Meachum admits here he doesn't watch football so he should just go back to his office and feed the little fucking fish in his aquarium there and start looking forward to hitting the country club because spring time has arrived.
Gil Brandt, a senior analyst for NFL.com, predicted Goodell would give Vick another chance to play, possibly after sanctioning him again. But he said Vick, who holds the NFL single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback, would stand a better chance of making a team at a different position such as running back.
“The guy is a talented player, but he is going to be away from football for at least three years,” said Brandt, former vice president of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys. “I think it is very, very hard if you are a skill-position player like a quarterback to spend three years away from football and perform at the level that you performed before you were suspended.”
Finally, some common sense in this article.
Vick, meanwhile, remains on the Falcons’ suspended roster. Last month, the team announced it was trying to trade him. In November, The Associated Press contacted the NFL’s other 31 teams about acquiring Vick. Most refused to comment, citing league tampering rules. However, six teams said they would not shut the door on acquiring Vick.I'm willing to put a small bet on the Raiders as one of those teams...
