New Vick Rumors

January 27th, 2010 by Colin

It appears unlikely that the Philladelphia Eagles will pick up the contract option for Michael Vick next season accourding to sources with knowledge of the situation.  They would have to pay Vick just over 5 million dollars to retain him.  So where will he go?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Carolina Panthers and the Cleveland Browns were potential suitors, however sevearl new teams may be interested in him.

A good match for Vick could include Buffalo, Oakland or Jacksonville. Both teams are in smaller markets and Vick could help ticket/jersey sales. Both Buffalo and Jacksonville  have offensive standouts already but lack consistent QB play.

Buffalo would benefit from Vick coming to town much as they benefited from Terrel Owens coming last season. His arrival would bring some much needed media to town.

Jacksonville has dynamo RB Maurice Jones-Drew already, how scary would it be to see him and Vick in the same backfield?

Finally lowly Oakland would benefit because, well, they suck. Vick coming to the bay area would be a tremendous boost over struggling Demarcus Russel.

Only time will tell where Vick lands but until then, ain’t it fun to speculate?
