Late last week the Atlanta Falcons released former quarterback Michael Vick. As a result, the Birds take a $7.1 million salary cap hit but forever free them from the Michael Vick experience. The release allows both Vick and the Falcons an opportunity to move on with their respective lives. Vick can now seek reemployment elsewhere, while Atlanta is free from any and all controversy surrounding Michael Vick. The team did the right thing in cutting him because it was pretty evident that he’d never play for the team again and as long as he’s suspended, no NFL team wants to gamble on a trade for him, especially considering his high salary and baggage.
Vick benefits from the release because now he’s not under contract, so if he wants to play in the Canadian Football League, join the upstart United States Football League, or play the waiting game for an opportunity at NFL reinstatement, he can do so without worrying that the Falcons would prohibit his actions.
