    Despite the fact that I think you're a little bit crazy on this Vick hating thing, I have to agree about the media circus and how this will affect an already good team, especially the McNabb factor. He can't be happy right now.

    Glazer reports $5.2m in second year. WTF.

    $1.6M the first
    Team option $5.2M the second

    So if he kicks all kinds of ass, it's a 2-year deal. Anything else and it's 1 and done.

    I'm watching the game, and haven't heard Don Criqui or Randy Cross mention it yet.
    Better you than us, Philly.

    That's a decent contract. Give him a few bucks the first year and make him early the bigger bucks. Smart.

    year 2 is meaningless. it's just insurance for the iggle if the unimaginable happens -- mcnabb gets hurt (not hard to imagine) and vick rides in to save the day and lead them into the playoffs and beyond (unimaginable).

    but count me among those wondering wtf for philly? ??? ??? ???

    1. Disagree. I'm guessing he'll play by week three or four.
    2. Disagree. Why would he ONLY play at QB? You're crazy if you don't think they'll try to use him elsewhere.
    3. Agreed.

    In the AP story today on the UFL there was a comment from a league official about the UFL possibly positioning itself to fill a vacuum if the NFL hit labor turmoil in a few years.

    The NFL probably saw that and said "Anyone who wants Vick, go for it."
