Vick's next home? Take a guess

Determining where Michael Vick could end up is the ultimate guessing game. No one is talking and no one is going to talk.

Publicity usually tends to close doors for Vick, not open them. Remember when 49ers coach Mike Singletary spoke off the top of his head and said he might be interested in Vick? The organization came back later and said no.

The Rams leonard Little got a second chance after a DUI that resulted in the death of an inocent and numerous other players came back from multiple run-in's with the law. I guess i'm OK with another chance for Vick too. He did his time. I imagine he can still be a pretty good player once he gets his feet back under him.

However...

Seattle Seahawks: Jim Mora was Vick's head coach in Atlanta during some of Vick's best days. Mora is on the record as being one of Vick's biggest supporters and has kept in touch with him during the past couple of years. Selling Vick's signing to owner Paul Allen might be tough, though.

Please God no! What I said above notwithstanding, not on "my" Hawks please. Paul Allen and team Pres. Tim Ruskell have gone out of their way to rid Seattle of poor charicter guys and over the years have managed to have that cake and eat it too, in the form of some very successful seasons. (by Seahawks standards anyway) They have talent and a good bunch of guys besides.

Any thoughts on where Vick will land? The Saints? The Bungles? Back in jail?

I'd say the Redskins are the front-runners.

Could be. They have O-line problems and could use a guy that can scramble or go wildcat on someone.

It's strange to me that Atlanta could not give the guy away during the draft but would seemingly have to get some kind of compensation for him. (??)
