He's still just 29, an age many NFL quarterbacks are in their prime.
And yet in so many ways, Michael Vick— whose involvement in a dogfighting ring led to one of the most dramatic falls from grace ever by an NFL player — has taken on the role of an aging has-been, angling for just one more shot at s om and the riches that come with it.
On Monday, Vick will become a free man as he completes a two-month home confinement that followed about 18 months behind bars, most of that period at the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan. The electronic monitoring device Vick has worn since returning to his home in Hampton, Va., will be removed, and the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback once considered one of pro football's most exciting players will be legally cleared to resume his career after being out of the game for two seasons, suspended indefinitely.
I personally just don't see a team that is going to be willing to sign this guy.with the current economic conditions there is just not a team out there that wants negative PR. Howver if they have numbers that indicate that vick can still put people in the seats then maybe they will. I just don't see it happening, just my opinion.

NFL Veterans Minimum. The guy has served his time...he did his debt to society...he should be allowed to play again...if Leonard Little and Donte Stallworth can suit up again after killing someone after driving drunk, there's no reason Vick shouldn't be able to play again.
Michael Vick will be in Dallas if Romo can't win one playoff game this season. Or even make the playoffs.
I think he will be there either way.
And why would you say this?
Is this a serious question? Do you know who owns your team?
Yes..this is a serious question...search some , dude...Dallas has mentioned many times that they have no interest in Michael Vick...and don't go the criminal route..that's re ed...Dallas is right at the bottom of the list when it comes to teams who have employed criminals....
The had no interest in Vick because Romo was getting them 12 win seasons and playoff berths but if he keeps failing as much as he has I'm sure Jerry will abandon the Romo experiment for a proven player even if it is Vick.
His own reality show.
Dude...this was just recently that they stated this..2 months ago...didn't know Romo got 12 wins and a playoff birth last year. And if you think Michael Vick would do a better job than Romo after being away from the game as long as he has, you need to stay away from the NFL forums...Honestly, I don't even think Vick could make it as an NFL QB anymore.

Jerry also said he wasn't going to cut T.O.
I'm working for a reality show on the Animal Network. It's been rough dawgs.

Yes...but we have no need for Michael Vick..no way in he's going to play better than Romo...and let's face it..there are a lot of teams in the league with worse QBs...and teams who AREN'T trying to boost their image...even though Dallas is near the bottom of the list when it comes to employing criminals, everyone seems to think they're at the top...it's crap, but true..so they're trying to change that.
Michael Vick is way down the list at this point.
Could we get him in the future? Maybe, but right now we have a great quarterback as is, and a very solid backup, and a guy we drafted in the 4th round who has "potential."
We'd have to wear out the first three options before we brought in Vick. The only way we sign him is for the Wildcat and he obviously aint gonna do that, not to mention it would be a big waste of money
It's not like our QB situation is a mess. In fact, it's not at all
Don't tell me to stay away from the NFL forum because I see Romo for what he is and not through star-shaped glasses. I think Vick is a better athlete and better quarterback than Romo, he just did something stupid and had to do the time for it. If Vick truly wants to return to the NFL then I have to believe he's been doing something to keep his body in shape while he's been out of the NFL. Romo's got a quick release and is good on his feet but he's not a guy I would want making decisions in the clutch. He's a proven regular season winner and playoff failure. I was actually having a discussion with someone the other day, and now that Peyton Manning has his ring, Romo or McNabb are the logical heirs to the "Can't Win The Big One" monkey on their backs. Just deal with it. He's your quarterback, and you have to deal with him throwing to Witten too much and likely singlehandedly destroying another Cowboys season. At least he got paid.
Vick > Romo

Seriously, when Romo's career is over and we look back on 12-something first round playoff losses, everyone will always be asking, "What if he never fumbled the snap in Seattle?" He just needs to win a playoff game. Eli Manning was a playoff failure until he won a playoff game too.

Michael Vick hasn't played professional football for years...he is out of game shape. When he was playing, yes, he was a better athlete than Romo. Better QB? No...not even close. Vick was lucky that the Atlanta Falcons thought enough of him to completely build the entire team's philosophy around Vick's game, which was based around him running the ball. Teams aren't going to put their entire team and franchise on Vick's back anymore...he's not the same...You sound like every other bag who puts the blame of the entire team on one player. Two years ago, if Patrick Crayton catches a ball put right into his hands, the Cowboys beat the Giants in the first round, and we're not even discussing these "failures." In every playoff game Romo's played, other players on the team made mistakes which also caused the loss..it's not all on Tony. I love how you mentioned Peyton Manning, because that just proves my point. Peyton took several playoff games to win one...Romo's going to be fine. Throwing to Witten too much? Damn..now you sound like T.O....Romo threw the ball to Terrell more than Witten last year..Witten just caught the ball more. If you have an issue with a TE who catches the ball as often as Witten, and can run as fast and hit as hard as him, you've got issues..Every team in the NFL would love to have that problem. Tony throws to the guy who's open. This year, with the best RB committee in the league, the Boys are going to run the ball right down the throat of the rest of the league, and just when they don't expect it, deep ball to Roy Williams, or Post or Slant to Witten. Say what you want...the season will prove me right..
i don't know something tells me he will be in Godells doghouse for quite some time
Vick>Romo is a ing joke. I mean a total ing joke.
As far as Vick though, I would take him on the Cowboys as a return/halfback/reciever. Its not like he's not talented, and as much as what he did was wrong, besides the pr hit, he doesnt seem like much of a risk to me.
