NFL: Eagles sign Michael Vick

12:24am - Friday, August 14th, 2009 by InsidePittsburghSports News Wire

We can finally put to rest all of the Michael Vick to Pittsburgh speculation, as Vick has agreed to a two year contract with Philadelphia Eagles.

Vick will be paid $1.6 million in 2009 and has an $5.2 million option for the 2010 season.

Vick who has not played since the 2006 season (20 touchdowns - 13 interceptions - 1,039 rushing yards), served a 23 month jail sentence for dog fighting convictions.

Great, now ESPN can talk more about how Brady handed the ball off in a pre-season game now. Anyway glad those rumors are now dead.

This was the most desperate, yet smartest move by the Eagles. Not going lie, Eagles offense will be scary now. So much misdirection and so unpredictable. Wilcat offense to the max. Just think McNabb, Vick, Westbrook, McCoy, Jackson, Maclin, etc. They just need a true number one reciever and it's on like Donkey Kong. Once again, NFC championship or bust, ha!

Is this a one year tryout for Vick in Philly? His salary nearly 3x in the 2nd year. It's an interesting signing, and I never saw the Eagles on the radar...better there than in Baltimore :)

You'll get a few Steelers. A lot of NFC games are played at 4:15, so you'll prob get sick of the Jets and Ravens being on at 1.

Sports70 - I live right over the border in DE - there are plenty of Steeler bars in the area, not to mention, we go pretty much every Steeler game last year on local coverage.
