Michael Vick Signs with Philadelphia Eagles
Convicted Dogfighter Back in NFL
According to a report from the Associated Press, Michael Vick has apparently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The news, released via a phone interview Thursday, said the AP, allows him to play in the Preseason and goto training camp.
It was not reported if he would start the Eagles' upcoming season as their lead quarterback.
Vick has thrown over 11,000 yards and has rushed more than 3,000.
According to FOX, his deal is worth more than 1 million dollars with a second-year option of $5.2 million.
Vick was suspended indefinitely in 2007 for dogfighting charges(which were federal) which also connected the now infamous Bad Newz Kennels.
With the news being still fairly new, there is no word on whether or not animal rights groups will protest the return of Michael Vick to the NFL.
