How Much Does Vick Think He’s Worth??
Posted by Media Outrage on March 31, 2009
Mike Vick has every intention of returning to the NFL as soon as his debt to society has been paid in full. He also already has a certain dollar figure in mind that teams should pay very close attention to.
Via Yahoo:
I don’t know what kind of access Michael Vick has had to newspapers, magazines and the Internet in prison, but it seems like the news that he is no longer a hot commodity has not yet filtered down to Michael Vick.
In papers he submitted to a bankruptcy court, Vick indicated that he plans on making $10 million per season, which I’m pretty sure would be a record for an ex-con who had a career quarterback rating of 75.7 when he went away. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
The embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback is hoping to earn as much as $10 million a year or more, according to court filings in his bankruptcy case. Under the plan he submitted to the court, Vick would keep the first $750,000 of his annual income over the next five years. After that, a percentage would go to his creditors based on a sliding scale. [...]
In a March 4 court filing, Vick’s attorneys say he “has every reason to believe upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living.”
“He is hopeful to play quarterback,” Daniel Meachum, an attorney and business manager for Vick, said in an interview. “There is no person with his talent in that position in all the league.”
Mediaoutrage- With that kind of request he’ll probably get a contract with a neatly traced MIDDLE FINGER on it.

Mike is my dude but he’s tweeking. Yeah it’s true that no other qb possesses his athletic ability, but he’s clearly in no position to demand anything. A squad could offer him the league minimum and if no other team tops it than he’s SOL.

Oh come on now Vick. Don’t start doing shit like that. You trying to get back in the league. Not have them dismiss you before you make a call.

There is nothing wrong with thinking highly of yourself. But while you are waiting, put that college education to work and find a job somewhere, they are hiring in the pet store. Vick you hang out in the fish department.
