Eagles Risking $3M By Playing QB Michael Vick In Season Finale

Found December 24, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Michael Vick
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles will have $3 million riding on Michael Vick’s ability to stay healthy Sunday afternoon. A source confirms that Vick has an injury guarantee of $3 million in his contract. Andrew Brandt of ESPN.com first mentioned the injury guarantee last month. If Vick suffers an injury Sunday, is knocked out of the game, undergoes rehab, tries to sign with a new team after being released, but fails to pass a physical, the Eagles are on the hook for the $3 million. Considering the number of hits Vick has taken this season and how poorly the Eagles’ offensive line is playing, the front office is clearly taking a financial risk by putting him on the field Sunday.

I don't get it, but I guess Andy Reid has a logical reason to want Mike Vick as his QB#1 in a "meaningless" final game of the 2012 season on the road against the Giants. New York (8-7) is still alive in the playoff mathematics, but only by the slimmest of algebraic margins. Meanwhile, this is the ultimate U-Haul game for the Birds.      ...
