Report: Vick Signs with Bird Team

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- Vick's agent Joel Segal confirmed reports Thursday afternoon that Michael Vick has agreed to terms on a 1-year deal with bird franchise, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The decision came long after the Falcons made it clear that they were going to move in a different direction and after it had become apparent that the Baltimore Ravens, Arizona Cardinals, and Seattle Seahawks were not interested in signing Vick.

Michael Vick was conditionally reinstated to the NFL, and will be reconsidered for full reinstatement by Week 6. The quarterback, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, has stated that he would be more than willing to accept a bench role for any bird team in the NFL.

After signing with the Eagles, jailbird Vick tweeted, "I hope to contribute, that's all. I will do what is best for the nest."

Vick will fly into Philadelphia tomorrow to meet with head coach Andy Reid.

Verizon: 'No chance' Vick signs with us

ASHBURN, VA -- Another phone corporation has shot down rumors that Michael Vick could sign a wireless service contract with them. A Verizon Wireless representative issued a statement Tuesday that "there is no chance Michael Vick will be using a Verizon phone in the near future."

Former NFL All-Star Vick's contract with T-Mobile was terminated in 2007 when reports surfaced of his involvement in the dog-fighting scandal, and has since been unable to contact anyone without finding a pay phone. Now out of prison after a 22-month sentence, Vick has been looking to start over with a new service.

Vick had previously been rumored to be signing with AT&T and Sprint, but both have since made public statements distancing themselves from the former Falcons quarterback.

Vick will probably look to settle for a landline service. It's been rumored that Vonage has expressed interest in the felon.
