Now A Free Man, Michael Vick’s NFL Future Uncertain

Michael Vick’s federal dogfighting sentence ended Monday. Now a free man, Vick could return to the NFL, after spending almost two years in prison for his role in the dogfighting operation.

According to The Washington Post:

A former standout quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, Vick remains on indefinite suspension by the NFL, and Commissioner Roger Goodell has not given a timetable for ruling on Vick’s possible reinstatement. Vick also is without a team after being released by the Falcons, and he was out of the NFL for two full seasons while serving his federal prison sentence in Leavenworth, Kan., and being on home confinement in Hampton, Va.

Those in and around the NFL wonder what sort of player Vick, 29, would be at this point, and it’s unclear if any teams are interested in signing him if he is reinstated by Goodell.

“You really don’t know about the two years off because there’s basically never been anyone who’s been in that position,” former NFL coach Dan Reeves, who coached Vick with the Falcons, said in a telephone interview Monday. “That’s going to be a difficult thing. The other difficult thing for him will be finding someone to give him a chance. My hopes are that somebody will.

“I hope he does get that opportunity because he was such an exciting player. Two years away is a long time, but hopefully the commissioner will reinstate him and he can get with a team for training camp so we can see what he can do.”

What do you think? Should Vick be reinstated by the NFL?
