>Vick has three years left on his contract. If they wait and cut him next June, I *think* they'd only be able to recoup about a third of that 22 million. (and yes, whatever they recoup from signing bonuses can be applied as a credit to the salary cap). But maybe there are more factors and variables, but it does appear that there are pros and cons to terminating his contract now, versus somewhere down the line.

I'm all for a person redeeming themself, but Vick is following the classic model of an incarcerated thug. First they find Jesus, then they want some cigarettes, then they learn new tricks in jail, then they get released and they are smarter. It gets harder to catch them, but they still get caught. Can you say RECURSION? Yep loop number 2, then repeat until dead or too old to keep up with younger thugs.

The NFL owners should be ashamed of themselves for ever letting him play. I believe all this stuff could have been predicted based on his and his brohter's past. Just because these kids are good athletes doesn't mean they are going to be good citizens. It would not surprise me to learn he was also a gang member. As I google that particular subject, I see many links to stories about Michael and his brother flashing gang signs. Maybe it's just because of my occupation, but I think this guy needs to do some serious jail time and NEVER be allowed back in an NFL stadium, even to watch a game.
