Philadelphia Eagles
With Michael Vick out for this weeks game with concussion issues and litany of other injuries, are his days in Philly over?
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Jason Cole wrote Monday, ”it’s a pretty strong bet” Vick will be rested for the balance of the regular season.
If Michael Vick is released at the end of the season, there are lot of questions surrounding the much maligned quarterback after this season that must be answered. Can he stay healthy for 16 games? Can he stop turning the ball over so much? Is he a decent leader? With these type of questions surrounding Vick, it will likely reduce his fair market value, but here are the 3 best new teams for the quarterback going forward.
Oakland Raiders
The Raiders’ organization have always loved players with exceptional talent, speed, and a little bit of a checkered past. With Carson Palmer not exactly fitting the bill, it probably is time to move on, if the team were to throw Vick into a lineup that features Darren McFadden, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore, hopefully a rejuvenated Jacoby Ford next year, and a bigger role for Taiwan Jones next season, this offense would make plenty of explosive plays. Vick loves to throw the ball deep and his presence behind center places plenty of pressure on opposing defenses. He might be the insertion to get this team consistently winning again. The silver and black is the best and ideal fit for Vick.
New England Patriots
Tom Brady is still the leader of the team, but just envision what could happen to opposing defenses if Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels insert a Wildcat package, add some reverses, or even make Vick a wide receiver from time to time along with the world class speed of Jeff Demps on the field at the same time. This idea was initially proposed by Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin and it just may be time for the organization to think outside of the box. With Vick becoming more of a situational quarterback in this scenario, he would be more inclined to stay healthy and I think he could definitely add an element that would make the Pats’ offense even more prolific.
San Francisco 49ers
The specialty of Jim Harbaugh is building relationships, while instilling confidence in the player he coaches. The job he has done with Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, and Alex Smith is amazing. When the organization did not find a way to sign Peyton Manning in the offseason, it was a mistake that possibly cost this team a serious opportunity to win the Superbowl. If this organization was to sign Vick, it would be an upgrade over Smith, he would provide the team with a more dangerous runner than Colin Kapernick for Wildcat situations, could be signed below fair market value, and would be motivated to prove he is still an elite quarterback. Vick is capable of helping the 49ers win a Superbowl.

Eagles could end up cutting Nnamdi Asomugha
There’s no question that the Philadelphia Eagles have been a big disappointment this season. One of their biggest problems on the defensive side of the ball has been the play of Nnamdi Asomugha who still hasn’t lived up to the free agent mega deal he signed last season.
