Well, I'd be lying if I said that the news that Vick was going to the Iggles made me happier than the news that Raji is (at least tentatively) signed.

Not by much, though.

Why is that.. we haven't had the whining that we didn't sign him yet or the bitching about how incapable Ted is.. ;)

NOT A SURPRISE. Ted Thompson IS INCAPABLE OF SIGNING A BIG NAME FREE AGENT.

There, now can we lock it? 😃

Every team except for 5 has declined interest in Michael Vick. Green Bay is one of those 5.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm willing to bet one of the teams that has 'declined' will end up signing him.

I'm with you, Zero2Cool.

If I had to guess, it would be one the "big public splash" owner types. The kind who tend to shrug off bad publicity as "any publicity is good publicity, especially since it keeps *me* in front of the camera". A Dan Snyder type.

I think NOT committing verbally one way or another was the best thing to do by the teams that followed this. Look, the Eagles said they weren't interested, then signed him. At least we know when we talk to Ted that he won't bullshit us. He tells us straight up 'i dont know' lol

Why do we want it locked so badly? If it generates some posts, why not keep it open. If it's going to be miss used, it can always be closed later on.

I, myself, am slightly disappointed that we didn't sign Vick. I mean, his deal is interesting, but it really doesn't cost the Eagles a lot.

A league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora that the Eagles gave Vick a one-year, $1.6 million contract with a team option exceeding $5 million for a second year.



I guess that Ted Thompson didn't feel the necessity to sign this guy, especially with so many question marks after 2 years of prison. Maybe he didn't want to cope with all the PR crap yet again. Maybe he just thought that his team was good enough as it is. Or maybe Vick just didn't want to come to GB at all.

I don't know, but still, it is slightly disappointing.

Sad thing is, I thought the Eagles were the best choice for him when I was making a list of teams he could sign.

Sure you did, Zero. While you're at it, could you tell us your prediction for yesterday's weather?

Just kidding.

Seriously, I suppose Philadelphia was about as good a place as any for him to land. Not only do they have the mobile QB thing, but it is also a big city, which will probably be better for him. I think he would've stood out like a sore thumb in a place like Green Bay.

To be fair, one of their backup QB's got hurt, which may have opened the door for Vick.

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (14h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (15h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (15h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

dfosterf (18h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (18h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (18h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (19h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (19h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (19h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (19h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
