Michael Vick has truly come a long way! After serving 21 months in prison for his role in an illegal dog fighting ring, the 31 year-old quarterback has moved on and moved up in his NFL career. According to ESPN.com, the former Atlanta Falcon has just signed a new deal with the NFL that is worth 9 figures:
Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed on a six-year contract on Monday that again makes the Pro Bowl quarterback one of the highest-paid players in the NFL. A league source told ESPN’s Andrew Brandt the deal is worth $100 million and a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that it contains roughly $40 million guaranteed. [Source]
Back in 2005, Vick was the top earning player until he served time in federal prison and filed bankruptcy in 2008. Since his return to the NFL, he has earned Pro Bowl honors for the fourth time in his career, been named the starting quarterback for the NFC squad and was named the Associated Press and Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year, after leading the Eagles to the NFC East conference title last season. Who knew things would look up after his downfall? Congrats to Michael Vick!
God bless him, I’m truely happy for him.

I`m very happy for Vick. ESPN did a survey asking whether Vick deserved such a contract? The very nature of the OVERTONE of such a survey doesn`t cease to amaze me. Afterall, it`s WHITE PEOPLE doing what they do best.

SO PROUD OF HIM!!!!! HE HAD TO GO THROUGH IT…. TO RECIEVE HIS BLESSING. THAT’S HOW GOD WORKS… JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT’S OVA.. HAVE FAITH, AND HE WILL BLESS YOU FAR MORE THAN YOU’LL EVA KNOW.
I thought he was a slave then but he truly is a slave NOW to the system. Vick, man up, was it worth it?
Exactly. He bowed down to the Baphomet which is why he is being lavished and was given a second chance in the first place. The white man called the dogs off him, so to speak lol. I remember seeing him on television after he was released from prison and he had the prayer beads that are so popular amongst entertainers now.
Judah you usually crack me up as well as IDOMIND, but after the time he spent in jail for letting dogs “do what they do best” when around each other they should pay him 200million for time lost. I’m just saying.
i agree with keepinitrealladies. for some damn dogs? man please. all the shit going on in this crazy ass world. that was so racially motivated it’s pathetic. kudos to vick. just hoping he can get that ring though.
Judah and idomind are unhappy lesbian lovers, they can’t help but to be negative lol
Good look Mike.
That’s wats up.get that paper.
Vick is worth EVERY penny. I’m happy for this man. IDOMIND, guess what, every professional athlete (and most entertainers) is enslaved. Are you a corporate cat? If so, you’re enslaved too.
Go Mike! That’s good and you earned it.
Whenever I read fuckery like this, I think of that Tupac quote about no needing more athletes and entertainers. 100 million… while 100 million and more are starving in the rest of the world. Society is being more fucked, self-implosive and ignorant each day. Shame.
HOW CAN MICHAEL VICK BE A HERO NOW AFTER WHAT HE DID TO THOSE POOR HARMLESS ANIMALS, HE ABUSED FOR SO LONG UNTIL HE GOT CAUGHT.HOW CAN THE SMELLY NFL REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR LIKE THAT.MICHEL VICK SHOULD STILL BE IN PRISON PICKING UP DOG DOO DOO ON THE LAWN OF THE PRISON YARDS.NOT PLAYING AND RUINING THE EAGLES REPUTATION.MICHAEL VICK SHAME ON YOU.I WILL NOT BE ROOTING FOR YOUR TEAM…BOOOO..LOSERS…
