The Eagles have their man, and he isn’t going anywhere.
The team agreed to a six-year, $100 million contract with QB Michael Vick on Monday, NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reported, citing a league source.
The contract includes nearly $40 million guaranteed and averages more than $16 million during the first three years.
Vick was scheduled to play under the $16 million franchise tender this season.

The Vick deal needed to get done first. Now Desean will get paid. IDK how they have all the $$ either but I love it

Vick is not a winner. Never has been. never will be. Should have kept Kolb and atleast give yourself a chance at a superbowl.

The big million contact curse has just began, look for Vick to suck and suffer some sort of injury.

Eagles won't make it to the superbowl this year, if Vick doesn't blow it, Andy Reid will, I like Vick but he's a regular season QB, he's good against bad teams, folds under pressure.

My man getting paid!!!!!!!!! Desean is next. The Vick deal needed to get done first. Now Desean will get paid
Michael Vick and this "Desean" guy are NOT your men.
Do you consider them "your men" because they have the same skin color as you? Do you know both of these men personally? Have you ever hung out with either of them and had a beer?
Why would you possibly care about what happens to Michael Vick?[/color]

Thank God Arthur Blank doesn't have to pay this dog killer any more. Let him bankrupt the Eagles.

Blank and the falcons are already shaking at the thought of seeing Vick in the playoffs

desean deserves a contract more than vick...desean has been great for past 3 years for them....and vick??....he was great for like 10 games. Vick is a high injury risk material....what were they thinking giving him such a big deal...that's brady/manning kind of money...and vick has done nothing close to what those guys have done....this is insane.

So they basically signed a black Alex Smith who had one lucky year when his life was on the line.
***** got paid, we know how the rest will play out.

That is freaking awesome
Vick should be playing until he's 50.
The guys is just a beast of the east.

michael vick has talent but the time in the slapper destroyed his career, not worth that kind of money any more
they could have gotten away with paying him a lot less seeing as he probably doesnt have many options due to his past, but good for him, now he can rebuild his life

dont like this move if im in the eagles position.. vick is wayyy to injury prone to be throwing that kinda money. also got a feeling he will get injured esp with the way he plays.. as for desean, he is one of my busts of the year. not just if vick goes down but overall big plays going down and he being a deep threat. i actually have maclin on my rankings higher than desean as he will be there possession guy as well as speed and the right mindset

I think the Eagles are showing the world why this joke of a franchise has never won a Super Bowl with the 6 year 100 mil signing of vick aka douchebag dogkiller. Guy hasn't even looked that good in preseason. Is a average qb at best not anywhere near the calibur of Rodgers, Manning, Brees, and Brady. Actually i could throw in some more qb's but why bother. Vick's game is his running skills which obviously will detour with his age. Dog killer isn't a young pup anymore . But this is the Eagles not exactly a smart front office with that franchise.

That's just too much money under the current cap for Vick. He's really not as good as his ESPN hype.
