Thread: Falcons to release Vick

[size=13pt]Report: Rams Interested In Vick[/size]

Posted by Aaron Wilson on May 31, 2009, 12:54 p.m. EDT

The St. Louis Rams have emerged as a potential landing spot for suspended quarterback Michael Vick if he’s reinstated, and team officials have been performing their “due diligence,” according to Michael Lombardi of NFP and NFL Network.

Per the report, the Rams have “genuine interest” in Vick, who’s on house arrest in Virginia after serving 18 months in federal prison.

“Several people in the NFL told me not to rule out St. Louis as a possible destination for Vick,” Lombardi writes. “If [NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell] reinstates him, look for them to actively pursue him. It makes sense, a new coach with an older quarterback who hasn’t played well. Playing in a dome on carpet would highlight Vick’s speed and athleticism.”

Of course, the Rams being up for sale complicates Vick’s prospects because new ownership could be opposed to pursuing Vick.

Now that is interesting. I wonder if Bulger will be demanding a trade like Cutler did.

I have a difficult time believing that Bulgers job is at stake.

I would take Bulger.
Give him some time and he can shred defenses.

The Rams could be up for sale anyways, so the owner wouldn't care about the PR nightmare...

LA would love a Vick-Rams team, I think.

Interesting.

Interesting.

IMO, having Vick would decrease the value of the team.

Pretty sure they can cut Vick if they own the team. Either way, in the immediate future, it could increase (or drastically decrease) ticket sales.

It should be interesting.

How many people will be at Ram's TC and games with signs that say "Give Vick a second chance"?

Or "Vick is a sadist"

Myself I like sarcasm so mine will read, "Vick needs a job to put food on his table at his $8 million home"

lol... I like yours the best.

To be honest, I don't care how many people will be at Rams TC... they're one of my least favorite teams.

Vick is a the Joseph Mengele of animal abuse. He doesn't deserve reinstatement.
