Mike Vick to be Reinstated After 4 Game Suspension


According to the reports, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has decided to suspend Vick for the first month of the 2009 NFL season. Really, that's about the best that Vick could have hoped for.

Considering the fact that Vick lied about what he was doing, was caught doing it, then spent nearly two years in a federal prison because of it, four games may be light. Especially considering the iron fist that Goodell has pounded into the NFL and its players several times before.

Will Vick find a new team? That has yet to be seen as no team has stepped up and said, "Yes, we have interest in Michael Vick." Well, no NFL team anyway.

The Orlando franchise of the UFL currently holds his rights were he to give up on the NFL (or more likely, have the NFL give up on him) and come play for the UFL.

The UFL doesn't seem to have much of a chance at Vick any longer considering their contract lasts until November 28, long after Vick's NFL suspension would be up. Also, on top of all that, the UFL would only be able to pay a fraction of what Vick would be making in the NFL.
