Vick interested in playing for the Panthers

The rumors of where Michael Vick might be playing in the 2010 season are sure to start heating up when the new league year is welcomed in on March 5th and the trading  period begins.

However, the Eagles’ quarterback might have stirred up the serious speculation a little early with some statements he made on an Atlanta radio show appearance. After being asked by the host to answer a listener’s question regarding where he would like to play if he could choose anywhere in the NFL, Vick said it would be the Carolina Panthers.

Here’s his response:

“Well, you know, it’s close to home. I like the uniforms. You get to play against Atlanta twice a year. Ain’t nothing better than playing against your former team, right? So, yeah, that would be a good look, it would be a good look.”

– Philadelphia QB Michael Vick

After agreeing to a controversial deal with the Eagles during the 2009 preseason, the former Falcon and speedy passer played sparingly throughout the year. Primarily used in a Wildcat/situational role, he was able to score 4 touchdowns (including one in the team’s lone playoff game), Vick is clearly not in the athletic form he was in prior to his 2007-2008 jail sentence, but is expected to be in the radar of QB-needy teams this offseason.

The Panthers have not shown much interest in Michael Vick, but there’s definitely a possibility that Carolina could be his new home in ’10. After all, the Eagles are sure to move at least one of their solid Quarterbacks, and many signs indicate that he will be the one to go.

    @ peta, that’s a lil harsh ya think !? Vick has asked for forgiveness and has moved on. Why you say he needs to burn ? We are nit here to judge only God will judge man, and He doesn’t do it until we die so how you think you can ?

    ugh, peta. its people like you that value animals lives over human. I'll never understand that and I love dogs. Hurting puppies is not the equivalent of hurting human babies, however, but its close. He doesn't deserve to die, however. i hope you get attacked by a bear in the and break your neck only to be eaten alive by cute, fuzzy woodland creatures. ahhhh…poetic justice for peta. peta is an asinine organization, full of people from cities who tend to be really wealthy and might have to deal with a dead rat in the their pools. hope you get attacked by wolves or a pit bull. those dogs are eeffin mean. attacked my cousin and my uncle. i notice peta's concern extends only to dogs and cats, not snakes, spiders, or rats. i bet you use poison or traps in your house peta.

    oh, and i hate the hokies and vick was an overrated passer but not an overrated football player. you know, its odd how people (white) are making the same argument for Tim Tebow; that he's a winner and it doesn't matter if he's a polished quarterback. why did vick never get that treatment? oh, because he had cornrows and was from the south and flaunted his money. only white kids or clean cut guys like Vince Young get the benefit of the doubt.
