Michael Vick was released from prison this week and was approved to be under home confinement as there weren't enough spots for him at the half-way house (yea right). I can't help but love this story line. Michael Vick went from being the league's top paid player, to wearing an ankle bracelet in his own home in Virginia.
Will he be allowed to play this season? Does any team in the league want to take a chance on him?
I have to think that there might be some owners willing to pay him to start for their city. There are certainly some teams that seem just a QB away from the playoffs. In this new era of "character issues" in the NFL, it will be interesting if anyone is interested in such a flashy, exciting, but not always reliable QB as Vick is.
One has to ask themselves, what teams are in need of a (maybe) mobile QB? I have to think teams such as the: Jets, 49ers, Lions, Titans, Texans, and Chiefs might at least want to consider this possibility.
You may already have your Matt Stafford Lions jersey on pre-order, but I'd rather see Vick throwing to Calvin Johnson than Stafford. The Titans have Collins (for now), and Young on the bench, but if Collins goes elsewhere, maybe the Tennessee brass would consider Vick a good mentor for Young (ok, I don't even buy that scratch the Titans off the list).
Does Michael Vick have a place in the NFL, I think yes. Will any team roll the dice on him at this point and hope that he gets reinstated by emperor, I mean commissioner Goodell, is yet to be determined.
