Falcons look to trade Vick; is there a place for him in the NFL?

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to lighten their load of baggage by trading away convicted dog fighter Michael Vick. There are several story line that go along with Michael Vick, but what I’m most interested in is whether or not Vick will be playing football in the NFL next season, and if so, what colors will he be wearing?

Vick is scheduled to be released from prison, or the half-way house in July, at which point, he will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his future in the NFL. Assuming that Goodell finds that Vick has served his time and lets him back into the league, if he hasn’t already been traded by the Falcons, they will release him so that they don’t have to pay him since he is no longer needed. This is the point where things will start to get interesting.

There are several teams in the NFL who may be in search of a game breaking quarterback this offseason and may take the risk on an underpriced talent like Michael Vick. The only question is, who is willing to bear the public relations nightmare that will follow along with him, and the animosity from the fans who will never forgive him? There may not be many willing to take on the risk, but I have no doubt that he will be playing in the NFL next season, even though I think he should be punished for the rest of his life for what he did. I came across a photo today online of a dog that was a victim of dog fighting and it broke my heart. In my opinion, Michael Vick has no place in the NFL, and for once, making money should take a backseat to doing the right thing.
