I heard something about this story the other day on the radio. I would be astonished if he ended up playing for them. As far as I know, he's still under contract with the Falcons and I've got to assume that the Falcons' lawyer had half a brain and made sure to include broad noncompete clauses in the contract.

HAHAHAHA...that's an oxymoron!

I believe the Falcons cut Vick didn't they? He's not on their roster, so Im pretty sure he's a free agent right now.

I thought that they had to keep him under contract and on the team to fight to get their money back?

Well, they've already settled the signing bonus. They got a tiny portion back. Once that happened, I think it was over. I mean, I don't know how he can be under contract but not on the roster.

For what it is worth, wikipedia says Vick is still under contract with the Falcons but indefinitely suspended by the league. I also googled "Falcons release Vick" and did not get any good hits.

I believe he settled with Atlanta. He's paying his debt to society so when he gets out he should be allowed to make a living. I would think that a team from Canada would sign him.

The Canadian league doesn't like to allow convicted felons to play in their league.

He might have settled the SB payback issue with the team, but he's still under contract as far as I know.
