NFL Rumors: Vick to possibly back up Cassel
 

Anybody have access to ESPN insider? If so, please post! There is a link on the front page of ESPN. Of course it's probably just what it says though, a rumor.

FREE AGENCY: Two jump in for Vick?
Michael Vick | Falcons | Interested: Packers? Patriots? Ravens? The Titans, Ravens and Chiefs might be the only teams interested in signing Michael Vick. That's what ESPN's John Clayton said on ESPN Radio's Brock and Salk when pressed about NFL teams' interest in the troubled quarterback. There was no mention of the Packers or Patriots, which is contrary to prior reports. The Packers have had "legitimate discussions" of signing Michael Vick, sources told the Wisconsin State Journal. But GM Ted Thompson hardly made it seem like they were this interested when he said he was open to the possibility.

Also, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he'd be open to the possibility of bringing in Vick, although Pats owner Robert Kraft said he has no interest.

60% of the time, it works every time....

I think Vick would be lucky to back up Matt Guttierez at this point.

already posted

He's a Raider.

The deal is done...:)

Piss on Vick.

I can see how he'd like it here after all that time in Leavenworth.

Only reason they say this cause the chiefs havent commented out right to say no to vick....

If Cassel is as good as they say we have no need for vick. Charles can handle our wildcat formations just fine.

What if he was brought in as an emergency quarterback (#3) but his primary duties were kick and punt returns with a handful of special offensive packages?

I'd take him over Brokie.

Of course, I'd take Hagans the Option Midget over Brokie at this point.

I'd take him.

He's a weapon. Line him up at WR, move him around, run the wildcat.

This offense needs weapons.

I'd be happy about this. The guy served his punishment.

this. Vick has always been one of my favorite players to watch.

We would be the king of the mobile QB's.

Cassel
Vick
Thigpen

I think it would be awesomely hilarious for Vick to sign with the Chiefs, Cassel goes down injured and Vick leads us to a SB championship. So many people would turn from haters to lovers and probably choke on themselves over it.

I personally don't care what happens with him I just think it would be funny in a twisted sort of way.

I agree. I don't condone dog fighting but he didn't kill a person. He went to prison, behaved well, followed the rules and now he's welcome back into the league imo.

I honestly can say that I have no desire for him to be a Chief. He deserves a second chance just not with my team.

He should sign with Cleveland. He could wear the Dogpound mask instead of a helmet


Leonard Little, Ray Lewis have been involved in the death of People.....and play in the league without consequence at this point.
Stallworth got drunk and killed someone, did far less time, and he'll probably get back in the league....

Vick financed and killed dogs. not people.

This.

Especially not with my team.

This team needs to stay focused, they don't need this kind of distraction over a guy that might see 3-4 plays a game, at best.

The guy has been out of football for 3 ****ing years, yet people expect him to just step right in and make an impact.

The only impact he'll make anytime soon is a negative one - PR/media circus, and a huge distraction.

That's not worth 3-4 plays of a guy who been out of the league this long, IMO.

I'd only take him if he could catch. Sounds like Haley's still looking for another WR.

Welcome to the party, Dawgpound joke! Help yourself to the chips and dip... you're only 13 months too late.

ha ha...nice..

ditto....this team has been enough of a circus act without having to add another clown. This team does not need the drama or the media attention.

:clap:

I hope he comes to KC. Talk about a guy with a chip on his shoulder.

I didn't think he was any good before I knew about the off the field stuff. Most overrated player in the past two decades.

They have. Pioli said straight out in a recent radio interview that we'd have no interest in Vick.

As a situational type of player I would welcome him. I can think of MANY players that I would want less than Vick.

And what about another angle on this....would Pioli try to sign just to get KC more attention? They sad bad press is better than NO press, which is what we have had for years.

I agree.

He'll find work when the #1 QB goes down some where. Then again I think Brokie and/or Thigpen could too if/after cut.

I don't see where he'd fit in...but KC is a good place for Vick...our fans are a pretty forgiving bunch. Shit, Larry got a chant last year at Arrowhead after he ran for 198 yards against Denver and all you cynics hate that mother ****er.

Return game. Return game. Return game.

don't care one way or the other, don't really want him, but if he came cheap, STFD and STFU does whatever is asked of him, worse case he shows some improvements fairly quickly and we turn him for a draft pick somehow, or he plays some Offensive WR and Return game (like we aren't lacking in that department) but if it's just a rumor and we don't go after him, no heartbreak here.

I think he would suck as a returner sure it is easy to run when all the db's are running away from you. No way he comes here though, because I would like it too much. So I know it won't happen

Wild dog formation!

Yes, but dogs are nicer than people. They're more trustworthy, less deceitful, more loyal, and usually don't deserve to be mistreated or abused.

Hell, if Vick had set up a people-fighting ring, I would've been all for it.

AWWW YEAH LET'S DO DIS SHIIIIITTTT

Dogs are ****ing stupid. How many ****ing dogs get run over right here on the planet every month

He only murdered the dogs in front of trainers for ring cred. All part of the biz. Tough customers.

I don't Care


But Brian says NO!

It would nice to get Vick just to get the attention from the Media. But, on the other hand, i want Cassel to feel like this is his team. With Vick there, everyone will be screaming for him to start. It would be terrible. Talk about screwing up team chemistry.

But, if we did sign him, and he shows that he can still play, i wonder what his trade value would be worth at that point.

Blah, he'll probably be a Viking.

Just saying, hed be a backup that gailey could use a few times a game for creativity. Gailey + vick would be amazing. Then we could flip thiggy for a 3rd or 4th. It is a scenario full of win! Who better than haley to drive vick to his potential? Why not pick up a competent backup qb that you can also utilize a few times a game? Who better to use vick than gailey?

I dont. I think ESPN is full of shit. They saw that the Patriots MIGHT be interested and assumed that the Chiefs could be interested as well thanks to the Patsification of the Chiefs.

I hate that swapping QB's out shit. Cassel Can run well enough. I would rather Cassel just stay in and develop a rhythm. And there is no way we get a 3rd or 4th for thiggy. No way

LOL you think Thigpen is worth a 3rd rd pick??? ROFL

Hell lets trade away Jeff Webb for a 3rd too!!!!

Thigpen is a competent backup with game experience and in todays league that is definitely worth a 3rd or a 4th.

Yes, but now you're opening up a different debate. Stupid, IMO, also does not deserve abuse, be it dogs or people. At least, that is, 'stupid' in terms of 'uneducated' or 'simple'. Dogs don't know what cars are; it's not their fault we drive them recklessly and hit them.

However, 'stupid' also has a negative connotation. The following 'stupid' people would be eligible for my Octagon Cage Match Of Death:

- people who get in the "10 Items" line with 45 items
- people who like to play their car stereo at 159 decibels, usually at night
- Raider and Bronco fans
- child molesters and child-porn freaks
- the Shamwow guy
- people who talk loudly on their cellphone in movie theaters
- anyone who wears an earbud wireless cellphone headset and isn't immensely important
- people who wear revealing bikinis or Speedos and clearly shouldn't be
- fat girls who feel the need to wear a thong and a half-shirt
- people who complain about things they shouldn't complain about
- ass-kissers, backstabbers, and similar types of co-workers you despise
- people who need 10 minutes to make up their mind at the fast-food drive-thru or walk-up counter
- anyone who goes into a Starbucks
- anyone who refers to themselves in the 3rd person
- Simon Cowell
- Islamic terrorists
- almost all politicians
- people who, by way of greeting a stranger on a 98-degree summer day, say, "Hey! Hot enough for ya?"
- Dane Cook
- bad drivers
- Obsessive Twitterers who actually think we give a f**k what mundane task they're doing right now
- Brett Favre

I'm sure I'll think of some more.

ESPN is really a piece of work. They can make up their own news when they feel like it. I never trust ESPN's "anonymous sources". I'm not saying it's all crap, but when they need news they can hypothesize and theorize all they want and "form it" into news.

If Vick is coming to KC, I'll munch down on the next turd my dog lays in the backyard.

yeah you are right stupid doesn't excuse what he did. I am just ready for some hot black action

Thigpen is so competent that he went from starter to fighting to make 3rd string. Hell, Brokie probably has more trade value.

Don't buy into the hype that the Media fabricated just to make Chiefs fans feel like they have a player worth watching.

I use to be Insider subscriber. They find a front runner and then throw a bunch of team names around to generate buzz. I cant even remember the last time i visited ESPN.Com or even watched Sports Center. They lost credibility years ago.

Either way, if we pick up vick we are immediately deeper at qb and get what we can for thigpen. I fail to see how that can be a bad thing.

Bob Dole in 3......2......1......

:D

I think he read the KC Star all the time in the Leavenworth joint... and I always felt like he would be a strong possibility to come to KC... once we signed/traded for Cassel, I wasn't so sure.

But he would be a good to have on the team, for sure.

the Media would Damn near force Vick into the starting rotation, and that would be bad

The media doesn't dictate shit to pioli and haley, in case you haven't noticed.

I ****ing love this idea.... Gailey INVENTED the Kordell/Slash experiment and Vick is heads and shoulders better than K Stewart.

Plus... **** dogs. lmao

Dude, the media has a history of playing a strong role in forcing the hand of orgnaizations. The moment Cassel has a 3 int game or the Chiefs aren't winning, the Media will be calling for Vick and the fanbase will follow shortly after. We don't need Cassel and Haley answering Questions about Vick every week.

You give the media far too much credit and the management skills of our team far too little credit.

The Chiefs should sign Vick and release Thigpen.

It'll never happen.

I'm all for Vick coming to KC. Like someone said earlier, we're in need of weapons and he could be it

:spock: Usually, for me, that doesn't conjure up Mike Vick. It conjures up the image of me, Halle Berry, Vivica Fox, and a kiddie pool full of chocolate pudding. But, hey, to each his own. :D

Vick at WR.

People fighting rings are legal. There is a UFC full contact ppv this weekend.


Most people don't go right from licking their own balls to their own water dish.

Competent backup in what system?

What team is going to completely change their entire offensive philosophy for a backup - and give up draft picks to do so?

This.

I don't want Vick anywhere near the Chiefs.

Don't kid yourself, it's only 'cause almost all guys can't reach.

Sign Marcus Vick as well, we can have a brother combo like Keith and Kerry Cash!11111

I'd take him for the KR/PR if he still has that speed

Draft picks for a free agent????

No Vick is needed .. he can't think under pressure .. we've got enough of that already ...
