DMD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That would be a riot. Like the Pats are not hard enough to predict and project already. I would not put it past Belichick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Like we need another reason to hate the pats. Can we get up a collection to give to the first player to knock him out of commision if he's fined? If it's painful enough, we can add a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Your sources are ninjas? Like Chuck Norris? I would have guessed Chicago Cubs ball boys. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle has said he's heard rumors too(unnamed of course). Is Belichick sending out false rumors now so other teams sign him? Maybe he wants PETA to protest the Dolphins or Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K.Trey Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Vick is not going to go to the Pats. It makes no sense for his career to go somewhere he has not shot whatsoever of becoming the starting QB. He is not a young man , he needs to go somewhere he will have a chance to play at somepoint this or next season . JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they offer him one, he will jump on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Vick was in bankruptcy court today. Probably more BS from the king of BS Belichick. Belichick still evasive on Vick Comment Email Print Share ESPN.com news services FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick won't rule out the chance that the team will sign quarterback Michael Vick. But he won't rule it in, either, at least not publicly. Asked again about Vick on Friday, Belichick repeated his Thursday comment. He said he's concerned about the players the Patriots have in camp, not ones they might acquire. But Belichick also said any player who isn't in camp has the potential to be in camp at some point. Vick served 18 months in prison in connection with a dogfighting ring he was running. He was conditionally reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday. Meanwhile, in Newport News, Va., NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Though a judge ruled that Michael Vick's bankruptcy plan can be sent to creditors to vote on, it remains unclear how the out-of-work quarterback will get the income to pay them. Vick declined to answer reporters' questions before and after a hearing Friday on his Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro ruled that the plan can move forward after nobody objected. The plan now goes to Vick's creditors. After they vote, Santoro will conduct a confirmation hearing on Aug. 27. Creditors approved Vick's first plan, but Santoro rejected it in April, saying it was not feasible. This time, Vick has proposed selling off more assets and giving creditors a bigger cut of his future income. But the plan is based largely on Vick's prospective earnings from his goal of returning to the NFL, which still is not a sure thing. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally reinstated Vick on Monday, a week after Vick completed his 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring. Goodell said Vick can sign with a team and begin playing by week six. Vick said Thursday that he is "getting close" to signing but did not offer any details. Several NFL teams have said they're not interested in signing the 29-year-old Vick. "Mr. Vick's time horizon in his professional career is not unlimited," Santoro said. The judge also postponed action on requests for payment by Vick's attorneys, saying he wanted to wait until all the legal bills are in. A New York-based law firm is asking for $1.5 million after slashing its original request of nearly $2.7 million. A Norfolk firm is seeking $385,000. Santoro demanded an explanation from one of the New York attorneys, Michael Blumenthal, on how his firm could bill Vick for 8,000 hours of work in less than a year. "This case is probably the most difficult case I've ever been involved in," Blumenthal said. He noted that Vick was in the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., when the bankruptcy petition was filed in July 2008, making attorney-client communication difficult. And Vick's finances were in shambles, requiring a Herculean effort to track down assets, bank accounts and financial records. "We started at below ground zero," Blumenthal said, adding that five lawyers at his firm spent substantial time on the case. Vick's lawyers also endured an acrimonious battle, largely behind the scenes, with one of his major creditors -- Joel Enterprises Inc., the company owned by Vick's former agent. Joel objected at virtually every step on the bankruptcy process before the two sides finally settled their differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You will not see Vick as a fulltime quarterback again in my opinion. He'll be part of a wildcat maybe, he could redefine an offense if he is used on certain plays and formations. But as a fulltime QB, I just cannot imagine any team wanting him like that.

DMD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Have you heard of any teams that are interested? Are they waiting for training camp to start so news of him signing isn't the only news? I heard NE and HOU but nothing beyond probably wild speculation. His old offensive coodinator Greg Knapp is the OC in SEA now but he hasn't said anything. It would benefit a team to get him for training camp but honestly I do not think the NFL is exactly beating a path to his door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Miami Herald confirming But that's another blog that cites anonymous sources as the original source and mentions Pro Football Talk and Curran in this story. Journalism heavy weights to be sure, but I still don't see him leaving bankruptcy court for Foxboro that quickly. Doesn't he need permission to leave the state as well. I can see him working out in VA though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
