From what I have read, Vick is reluctant to go to the UFL because he needs $ and he cant make much there.
At present, however, Vick could make money with the UFL but zero with the NFL. Maybe he'll sign with an NFL team - I'm not saying he won't - but if he can't get an NFL job for too long of a time, you can be sure that the bankruptcy judge will be happier if Vick is employed somewhere.
I think he is reluctant to go to the UFL because of pride.

Carolina might be a fit...now before we get in the sweepstakes rumor? Fox should have said before we become the ONLY team with any interest in the entire NFL. Sweepstakes...huh?
Coach Fox talks about the team's interest in Mike Vick (http://carolinagrowl.com/SteveReed/archive/2009/08/02/peppers-has-arrived-at-training-camp.aspx)

I do not see Minnesota happening for Vick. Jackson's injury is not that serious from what I've heard. The most important reason though, is that both Jackson and Vick wear number 7 :)
I have this feeling that Vick is going to end up in STL with the Rams. I even had a wierd dream about it.

Who knows where Mike Vick will end up? It's funny Kobe Bryant was forgiven for his case in Colorado. Marv Albert is working again as a broadcaster. Michael Irvin was forgiven for his past drug cases. Michael Vick made a poor decision and lied to Roger Goddell when asked about his involvement. Mike Vick was sentenced to 23 months in Federal Prison, lost his indorsements. He was released by the Falcons and lost his contract, which he had to pay back his bonus money. Vick got everything he deserved for making such a poor decision to take part in this dog fighting ring. It's time to forgive him and give him a chance to move on with his life. If he can produce on the football field he will get a chance. The NFL is a business and if you produce than you will have a place on a NFL team. How many chances did they give Koren Robinson? Leonard Little ( DUI Manslaughter). Funny how Matt Jones WR ( Jaguars) got busted with Cocaine in a vehicle and it was such a small story in the NFL. I guess if your not A big time star than its not news worthy. Give Vick a chance to redem himself. I love animals but he did not kill a human. It was wrong but we all make mistakes.

Was Goodell was commissioner when Little's stuff happened? I would be amazed if he was and Little is still playing.
As for Jones, it may have been a minor story, but no team has picked him up yet have they? And Baltimore definitely needs receivers.
If Vick can find a team he will play again. But apparently not alot of teams are in the market for him.

I believe that Tagliabue was the commish then.

I think it has a lot to do with the crime. I lot of people love dogs and to picture someone hurting dogs offends a great deal of people. Even Hollywood stays away from abusing or killing animals in movies. I watch a ton of horror films that are supper graphic you hardly ever see a dog hurt in them and you never see a baby hurt. People are very senstive to both dogs and babies. I guess because both represent pure unconditationaly love.

I've said this before (maybe earlier in this thread, sorry if I have); regardless of how you feel about dog fighting, Vick took part in an organized crime for a couple of years, even bank rolled it. Some mistakes are short, one night of bad judgement, but this went on for a long time.
If it weren't dog fighting, say he was caught dealing drugs & had been for a couple of years, it would still be more serious than if he'd used drugs like M. Jones.
