MICHAEL VICK SIGNS WITH EAGLES!
- Thread starter C-4
- Start date
so... am I the only person not surprised? I mean, they've only been hinting at it the past two weeks on ESPN. "The Eagles seem like the most likely team for Vick." is something I've only heard two dozen times.
McNabb's window is closing anyway.
Edit: I get the Seahawks and Eagles mixed up all the time.

Michael Vick is now a bird of a different feather.
ESPN is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed the former Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl quarterback to a two-year deal.
Vick's agent, Joel Segal, confirmed the signing to ESPN.
Fox is reporting that the first year of the deal is worth $1.6 million. The Eagles have a team option for a second year at $5.2 million.
Eagles coach Andy Reid had these thoughts on Vick on July 28: "Number one, I think he's a good kid. Right now we have a good situation at quarterback so that's not the direction I'm looking."
In all likelihood, Vick poses no threat to incumbent Philadelphia starter Donovan McNabb, who was drafted by the Eagles in 1999, the same year Reid took over as the club's head coach. Though McNabb has struggled periodically with accuracy, injuries and the City of Brotherly Love's fan base over the years -- he was benched in a late-season 2008 loss at Baltimore -- he's also led the Eagles to five NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance.
ESPN broke the news as the Eagles opened their preseason schedule at home against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
McNabb's backup had been Kevin Kolb, who sprained his MCL on Monday. A.J. Feeley is currently third on the Eagles depth chart.

Bullshit.....McNabb is clearly 1 of the top 5 or six QB's in the league......He also has a franchise tag on him......Vick will play the "Slash" role......If he plays great this season and shows that he can still play(which he will) Phily will trade him and get one hell of a deal for him.....He may not even play the full two years....They might trade him after one season...If he does play two full years the Eages won't re-sign him cuz Vick signed a 2 yr deal to prove himself so if he does last two years he can demand a huge contract.
Ain't no way he's taking McNabbs spot....He'll play alot and even get some snaps at QB but he won't be a starter unless McNabb goes down....This will actually help McNabb cuz Vick will be a threat out the back field, slot and can play QB in the red zone....McNabb ain't tripping like that...He has a way better resume then Vick....McNabb has gotten the Eagles to 5 NFC Championships and was one drive away fom winning a SB...Vick hasn't done nesarly that much.
