Vick to Philly


Tony Dungy was right again. The man can't tell a lie.

Former Atlanta Falcon and Virginia Tech standout Michael Vick has signed a 2-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN.com. The two sides came to terms late last night after talks started to heat about this past Monday.

The first year of the contact is worth 1.8 million dollars and the second year is worth 5.2 million. He could also earn another 3 million in incentives if eh reaches certain goals over the next to years. The deal grants the Eagles a team option for the second year, meaning they do not have to resign Vick, and can let him loose.

The final important piece of the contact is that non of this money is guaranteed. That's the big thing to look for in any NFL contract, and Vick gets non of it. Unless, of course, he stays out of trouble and helps the Eagles advance deep into the playoffs.

More reaction to come as this story settles into reality.
