But will he be super quick at 38? His speed & agility is what makes him who he is, and that is usually the first thing to go.

So, now where does this put a QB who was in his draft class?

Absolutely. Like peej said injuries are one thing, but if he stays healthy, IMO, he will be only a shade slower and that is above and beyond anyone else in the league anyway.

It's only $40 mil guaranteed. Not sure how it all breaks out, but as with most contracts, it's not as bad as it initially looks.

I have a feeling a lot of people in this thread will be regretting their posts. 38 is old, but a QB like Vick has never come through before. Guy is healthy as an ox and super quick.



It's not even about his age moreso than proving that he can do what he did for more than a year.


In my opinion he will be more like Brett Favre; have an MVP type year then play like shite the next year. I find it hard to believe he can roll out of jail and just all of a sudden be this different QB. WE shall see.

Not a guy i would want to trust paying that much money too.

Is this the first football player to get two different 100 million dollar deal?

Spread over 6 years (without me knowing what the incentives and shite are) that's less than:

Matt Cassel
Kevin Kolb
Matt Schaub

And probably others...

You realize there probably isn't an organization in football that does more window dressing contracts than the Eagles, right?

But sure, believe what you want.

window dressing or not, they have to pay him $40 mil guaranteed .


That is prob only less than Peyton and Brady and maybe Eli with the stupid contract he got


dividing the guaranteed money over 6 years is stupid, because if he plays the full 6 years, he will make the full 100 million.

I doubt he plays the 6 years... at least not for the Eagles. Just not how the organization works.

And you have no idea if he has to get $100 mil. if he plays 6 years. No telling how much is tied up in achievement bonuses, etc.

But his first 3 years will be 14.4, 16, 16 in salary cap #. But I'm not sure what his base salary actually is etc.
