Birds Flyin' High: Vick signs with Philadelphia


It was only a matter of time that Mike Vick would be back in the NFL and Tony Dungy commented this week that a team was close to signing Mike Vick.

That team was the Philadelphia Eagles, it has been reported by ESPN that Vick has signed a two-year deal.

Fox Sports Jay Glazer is reporting that the deal is one-year deal with an option for two years. Vick will make $1.6 million dollars in the first year and if the Eagles pick up his second-year option that part of the deal is worth up to $5.2 million.

It is interesting to see that the Philadelphia Eagles would be the team to sign him since they already have a solid starting quarterback in Donovan McNabb. But with an injury to back-up Kevin Kolb, it does not surprise me.

On some level, you have to feel sorry for McNabb since this is another distraction for him to deal with. First he had to deal with Terrell Owens and now the Michael Vick fiasco. Everytime it seems that McNabb is in the clear, something pops up to distract him again.

However, for Eagles fans, I expect to see the "Wildcat" with Vick in Philly.
