I should have stated in my previous blog on Vick that I knew that a team that said they did not want Vick or could not use him was going to sign him. I knew it! Michael Vick has signed a 1 year 1.6 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles with a second year team option for 5.2 million, no signing bonus or anything like that. Tony Dungy has been mentoring Vick and I believe he has been an influence with Philly's decision to sign him. Dungy was also present with Vick and Andy Reid at the press conference “I really got the sense he wanted to do some great things,” Dungy said.
Philly already has a star quarter back, Donovan McNabb and many think that his job may be at stake. Believe me when I say, "no way". The city is big enough for both quarter backs. This is great for Philly and McNabb. Head coach, Andy Reid could use Vick as a back up qb, or maybe even throw him in as a slot receiver or runningback, who knows. Philly has been booing McNabb since he was drafted, now he can share the pressure. Both QB's are talented and has different versatility. The Eagles will gain from this "risky" decision. The Eagles drafted St. Louis native, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin which I personally think will have great chemistry with Vick. I just really hate how the media is doing all this name calling, and trying to stir up controversy where there is none. Vick and Donovan will help the Eagles soar to the playoffs. I really hope that Vick plays so well that he shuts everybody up. The Patriots did defeat the Eagles, 27-25 in their first preseason game, last night(8/13/09). Signing Vick was a phenomenal move by the Philadelphia Eagles.
