Your thoughts on where Vick lands and will he start at some point this season? Good timing for him he can get on before camps start.
For the record, I'm not a Vick fan at all.

Im not a Vick fan either . I would guess Oakland as a qb/wr type . It would be interesting to see him in Minnesota with Peterson , Harvin and possibly Favre ?

Well, he's not my top choice for a QB even though I think he should be given the chance. He was never a pocket passer and it wasn't until his last few yrs they tried to make him one and I don't think it worked out. He's more of the "Run and shoot" or "Fun and Gun" style of QB. I don't know of any team still using that style anymore. Most are using some semblance of the WCO.
So the only other reason to pick him up would be if you were looking to use the "Wild Cat." Which teams used it? Which teams used it succesfully? and Which teams are looking to use it in the future? These are the teams who could use him.
Miami picked up a QB for this purpose out of the draft.
Maybe NE.
The Skins have not shown interest in using the Wild Cat so unless they are looking to ditch TC then I see no value MV has to the Skins.
He might work out in Minn. San Fran. Maybe even Houston. I'm not sure what style offense Detroit is going to run. He might work out for the Rams.
The NFL network was talking about Jacksonville maybe could utilize him.

Seems like a really fair deal to me, although the battle is just beginning for him. First step will be actually getting signed. I have a feeling if someone ends up picking him up before the season starts it will be someone we don't expect.

As far as I am concerned Vick can go anywhere but Washington.
Wherever he goes he will bring a media circus. I don't know if you want that in a backup. Therefore someone who wants him to start may take him. Maybe someone like Tampa.
However, he hasn't played a down in some time. I'm not sure that he would be effective, at least at first, even in the Wildcat. I'd make the same argument regarding his shift to another position, etc.
I'm surprised that he only got 4 weeks suspension.
Definitely a fair deal for him.

I don't want him here. Not because of the media frenzy that would follow the team but I don't think he's mentally ready for what he's going to face (media, fans, etc.).
