could Vick come back as an all-purpose back?

one or two teams might be desperate enough to give Vick a shot at QB.... but it is still fun to think about the Falcons having an gimick speed player

Mr. Blank has addressed this numerous times and said the door is closed on Vick.

My main question is: when does Vick's contract with the Falcons expire? He is still counting against the cap, and I would think Blank would like to keep him at his highest possible value utnil it was time to get something in return.

Or has Blank just washed his hands and considered it a total loss?

Maybe this will help....

On that giddy day in December 2004 when the Falcons signed Michael Vick to a 10-year, $130 million contract, Arthur Blank gushed: "He's a Falcon for life."

Unless Blank wants Vick to rot on the bench (further downgrading Vick's career), I don't think the Falcons will do anything but release him. I don't believe Blank is a cruel person, I think he wants Vick to succeed and 'redeem' himself... just not with the Falcons. The Falcons can't trade him because no one would trade for a player who they won't know what value they would get out of coming out of a two-year break from football for $70+ million...
