Will Michael Vick Be “Barry Bonds’ed” From The NFL When He Gets Out Of Jail??

It’s no secret that the MLB owners got together and delivered their own brand of vigilante justice on Barry Bonds, effectively forcing him into retirement. Barry is still one of the top 10 pure hitters in baseball at the age of 44 and there are plenty of teams who could benefit from his services, yet no team will touch him.

When Michael Vick is released from prison next year, he says he hopes to return to the NFL and resume his career. While I certainly hope he can land a job after he repays his debt to society (which includes over $100 million in lost wages), I’m not very optimistic that NFL owners will even give him a shot to try out.

I know some of you may think I’m breaking out the conspiracy theorists ‘tin foil hat’ on this, but this week has proved that it doesn’t take much to have the league disown you. Daunte Culpepper was pretty much shunned by the entire league and passed over for lesser quarterbacks this year, forcing him to retire from the NFL today. Sometimes in the game of football its NOT all about winning, if it were… Chad Pennington, Kyle Boller, Trent Edwards, and J.T. O’Suillvan wouldn’t be starting over Culpepper.

So my question is simple….

Will NFL Teams Give Michael Vick A Chance To Play?
