Vick will have many suitors

The Eagles are widely expected to trade quarterback Mike Vick before the fifth day of the 2010 league year, at which time he earns a $1.5 million roster bonus. And with the Eagles spending much of the latter portion of the season showcasing Vick, the unofficial auction likely will be starting soon.

Making a trade even more likely is the fact that Vick wants to be the starter, and he won't be the starter in Philly -- unless the Eagles trade both Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb.

So where will he go? According to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com, Vick will have "many suitors."

Per La Canfora, teams to watch include the Bills, Rams, Panthers, Raiders, and Jaguars.

Making Vick even more attractive is the fact that the top unrestricted free agent quarterback likely will be Daunte Culpepper.

So as the NFL's hot stove begins to warm up, Vick is one of the first guy's whose future will be decided sooner rather than later.

Florio forget 2 teams in Jason's article--> Oakland and Jacksonville.

Yep. The Eagles were giving Mike Vick a second chance. He even won the Ed Block award. Image is everything.

The FO is not dumb. Use him enough to give him exposure, don't hurt him(your assest) and add that award and you got yourself a nice chip.

Smart.

Id say Jacksonville. But then theres The Golden Calf of Bristol. (PS I think Garrard is a good QB) Oakland sounds right, but it also sounds like a mistake waiting to happen. Rams would be ideal. He and Steven Jackson would make a good fit. and the Bills would be alright I guess.

God sometimes it feels like Vick is even more over-rated now than when he was actually playing. He is second string QB material, player wise, stat wise all around. If he were to start somewhere it would only be because he fits a system/profile, and so Vick will go to Oakland. I am wondering what happens to Russell...

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
