RUMOR: Michael Vick To Visit Winter Park On Thursday

By Adam Warwas

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to host quarterback Michael Vick to a visit at Winter Park on Thursday according to football writer, and friend of the site, Ryan Boser.


Our full disclosure is that we do not have any confirmation at this time, other than the fact that Boser sounds extremely confident and we know him to be someone that wouldn’t mess around with this sort of thing. Also, the move makes a certain amount of sense, even if it is likely to draw plenty of criticism from the masses.

Adding to the speculation is the observation that Vick’s most recent addition to his “follow list” on Twitter is none other than former Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter. Carter, coincidentally or perhaps not, recently took to Twitter to wonder aloud about what a Vick-led Vikings team might look like.

Carter, of course, was around when the 1998 Vikings turned to free agent quarterback that sported the number “7” on his jersey and led the Vikings to perhaps the most memorable season in franchise history.

So, basically, if you add this evidence all up… the Illuminati are up to their old tricks. Or something.

Vick is currently 36 years old, the same age as Shaun Hill, and has plenty of starting experience in the NFL. The problems, of course, start with his reputation and don’t get a whole lot better when you assess his level of play since his 2010 season in 2010. It isn’t pretty.

The upside would be that he’s almost certainly an upgrade to Minnesota’s current depth chart and would come to the team without costing them any draft picks as compensation. That isn’t too terrible of a deal considering the season opener is in 11 days and Teddy Bridgewater was just put on injured reserve.

Naturally, we will be keeping a close eye on this whole situation as it develops in a more official manner.

  • I took a wrong turn somewhere on Monday and stepped into some twisted parallel universe.

    • What did we do to deserve this living hell? What next? Kapernick? Tebow? Manziel? Calling TMZ to find out.

      • They keep saying what a freakish accident this was. I think someone, possibly from Wisconsin, stuck a needle in a voodoo doll exactly at the knee.
        BTW anyone else notice how the GB lovers were always dissing Teddy as 'unproven' , mediocre, etc? Now they are all dancing in the streets. Hmmm. You would think they would be sore afraid we might get someone who could beat them and make it look easy.

  • If Zimmer, who I trust implicitly with the wellbeing of this team, signs off on this, then I'm good. No matter how much I might initially cringe at the thought. In related news, my 13 year old yellow lab is unavailable for comment.

  • I don't see a down side to bringing in Vick now that his idiot brother is in jail and wouldn't be able to raise hell in Minnesota

  • Turn back the clock again Cunningham favre George moon McMahon. Why not Vick
