Michael
Vick was officially released by the Atlanta Falcons today, meaning he
is now a free agent. Known for being a great athlete, but not such a
stellar passer, it has been wondered where Vick might land. But,
despite these concerns, many teams have expressed interest in the
former phenom who has spent the last 2 years in prison on dogfighting
charges.
"We've actually been looking for a downgrade
at the QB position for quite awhile now," said New England Patriots
coach Bill Belichick. "We have had outstanding quarterback play for far
too long. It just allows teams to gameplan against our perfect routes
and well thrown passes. What we need is a wildcard under center,
someone who our opponents will never be able to guess what he's going
to do wrong. You can plan how to exploit a weakness, but Vick has so
many weaknesses, they'll never be able to plan for them all."
Belichick
hopes to bring Vick out for a workout to see if he can still be as bad
as he was before he left the league. The coach hopes Vick hasn't been
practicing or anything while serving time.
Also hoping to be in the mix for the QB are the Cleveland Browns.
"Wow,
the things he can do with dogs," said GM George Kokinis. "As a team
symbolized by dogs, we have for too long been quiet lapdogs for the
rest of the league. Obviously Vick knows how to whip them into shape
and turn them into fighters, and that's just what this team needs. He
can build some cages next to the locker room, maybe have Braylon
Edwards put in there every time he drops a pass during a game. He'll
have these guys ready to kill out there on the field, or in a smoky
dimly lit basement, wherever there is football to be played."
