They took his money back and dissolved his contract.....

More than likely the NFL will never let him back in...And by the time he will be able (After the State gets done with him)...He was never THAT good to start with, now he will be too old to play the type of game he did....

Plus McNabb will aready have been there for a few years.....

Michael Vick cost the Atlanta Falcons the season and a lot of money, not to mention, he point blank lied to the owner of the Falcons, right to his face. Not to mention all the negative publicity he would bring back to that franchise. There's no chance of him coming back. With the Falcons anyway. Some team like the Rams or the Chiefs would probably take him, because those teams have always been known to pick up the has beens, or good players no other team wants.

When Michael Vick returns, he will be cut from the Atlanta Falcons and will become a good backup for the rest of his career. He will never be a true starter in the NFL.

He betrayed his owner, his coach, his teammates, and his fans-- and come Summer 2010... they will not want him.

He can do all the training he wants in a federal prison, but the facilities they have are very secondary to the ones NFL players use, and thus he will not come out the same player.

Michael Vick has always been a quick running quarterback, and trust me... people don't get faster as they age.

The Atlanta Falcons paid him millions to play for them,because of it they were just under the cap in money allowed,now they can't free that money to get new players,getting rid of him when he gets out will take some of that money off if another team picks him up,the problem is that there might not be any team that would take a chance on him for that kind of money

Michael Vick didn't get his near 2 year time in Federal Prison for dogfight betting and participation; Vick faced Justice because he LIED. Vick's LIES to Federal investigators got him his prison sentence; lying further to the NFL commisioner Roger Goodell, Falcons owner Arthur Blank and head coach Bobby Petrino---that nailed the coffin on his NFL career.

Had Vick never lied to anyone, he'd likely be suspended for the remainder of this season--as a free (and still somewhat wealthy) man, stinging from paying some million dollar plus fines.

Instead, Vick's first night in jail after receiving his sentence is sleepless; the man is tearful and riddled with fears; he's finding God sonic boom fast.

Gone is Vick's $28 million salary (he has to pay THAT back), gone are his investments, cars and dream home (to pay off the legal fees and fines) and gone is his once in a lifetime NFL career....or is it?

This IS Vick's "Longest Yard". Even with good behavior, Vick will be locked up for nearly 2 years. Vick won't enjoy that expensive prepared athlete's diet, custom made for NFL superstars; that plate will have standard prison food issue on it. Vick won't be working out on multi-million dollar cutting edge exercise equipment, consulted by top NFL sports fitness trainers and doctors; he'll work out with the minimal allowed workout weights anyone can afford if they have garage space, spotting for him will likely be a "lifer" or convict serving 20 or so years.

And given that, Vick would have to literally devote ALL his spare time (which he'll have a lot of) exercising to maintain the slim hope of holding on his current fitness till when he gets out---and "rebuilds" after yet another season away from football. So, we're looking at THREE years away from the NFL.

And that's even if he's allowed back in the NFL, making him the first hard time prison ex-convict to return to the dazzle of American pro-football. Remember, Vick will have to serve THREE MORE YEARS probation/parole---slim chance any team will want to assume that liability should Vick blow parole, which will lead him BACK to prison.

The lesson here: NEVER lie to cover your azz--espicially to the Law if questioned: you stand to lose a lot if you do.

Name a team that will take that kind of PR hit by hiring Vick after his jail time? There might be one or two but I'd bet no one will and the league will discourage anyone from doing so.

He could come back to play, but I don't think it would be as a starter. The NFL would need QBs ( ahem* -Chicago...) Sure he has a suspension but who says he won't get a good workout while he's runnin from people tryin to give him a present while he's in the shower if you know what I'm saying lol

Because when he gets out of jail him will still have to, most likely, serve an NFL suspension and that will put him at least 3 years out of the league and 3 years older. He a runner first and a QB second. Plus what kind of shape is he in? I truely think will never play in the NFL again.

It has nothing to do with the Falcons, being in shape to play, etc. He will not be ALLOWED to play for anyone. And IF that changes over time, there aren't many teams who will want to touch him from a PR point of view.

Because he messed up his whole reputation. People respect people in the media and sports. He should not get that back after what he did. It's different when you do something without knowing the bad it's going to bring. But when you do something that you know is going to end bad, do u really think you should get that back? that respect?
