Perhaps Vick can be "The Last Boyscout" for Oakland?

Vick's done. Like skinsfan said, the only way a team will pick him up is after playing in another league for at least a year (and then he'd be 30-31). Too much risk -- money and PR -- for a guy who hasn't played in 2 years. Teams aren't going to want to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for a potential PR nightmare on a guy who hasn't played recently, and is approaching 30. Even if they did, what would happen? He'd play next year, when he's 30-31 after learning a new offense? No way.

I'll bet he's still got the arm -- 29 isn't that old. However, I'd be worried about his legs. Plus, he was never very accurate. Don't see much benefit for anyone picking him up.

I guess the only way I wouldn't be totally surprised is if a team picked him up for ticket sales, as SS suggested.

The NFL is a buisness, and selling jerseys and tickets keeps each team going....I guarantee someone will pick him up!!!!!!Why not the skins,Danny loves money

I guess we can add this line to the Overused Phrase Hall of Fame, along with "Vet Minimum" and "Build through the Draft".

Isn't this how it always goes?

"Insert name here" is available and therefore make sense for the Redskins
"Insert name here" is available and therefore make sense for the Redskins....at Vet minimum. And Snyder/Cerrato are dumb-asses.

Buffalo Bills.

TO was putting up a big stink to Goodell about Vick being reinstated. TO wants him to come to Buffalo so he can have another big name person to play with him...misery loves company.

Still doesn't matter because Vick's performances won't make a difference on the field for any team this year. What team would QB this guy???

Top 5 destinations:
1. Buffalo
2. Oakland
3. Tampa Bay
4. Cleveland (Dawg Pound-HA!)
5. Washington-sorry, but it makes some football sense.

If he were playing any other position other than QB then I think he'd be fine. But with all the mental preperation that an NFL QB has to do, there is no way a team is going to sign and invest in Vick this year. Perhaps he'll get signed and asked to play another position but I just don't see QB. I heard that the UFL would offer him a million plus. He needs to go there where he can earn some $ and knock some rust off.

No team is going to sign him to play QB. He's got Wildcat/Slash written all over him.

Here's a good article on where Vick may end up...

Vick might not have a landing spot - NFC South - ESPN (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcsouth/0-12-168/Vick-might-not-have-a-landing-spot.html)

I particularly like this:

Not even a chance: Packers, Vikings, Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Chiefs, Chargers, Titans, Colts, Texans, Dolphins, Jets, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Cardinals, Redskins, Eagles, Giants, Panthers, Saints, Buccaneers and Falcons.

They do mention the Pats as a possible place, and I wouldn't be surprise since Darth Hoody has always been trying to stick it to the league (why this, I have no idea). I think it is a stretch having Vick here, I think you'd be more likely to see Bret Favre in here than Vick.
