since Vick got the OK to play in the NFL

- Start date
I don't see the Vikings making a play for him, they already have a QB that completes a low percentage of passes and seemingly can't master more than 10 pages of the playbook. And if they sign Harvin, no need for Vick to run the Wildcat, not that Childress would ever run that offense...
I just read Baltimore is the only team that has expressed an interest:shrug:
I guess they want to expand the playbook, actually don't think its a bad move for them, he is the complete opposite of Flacco, change of pace:SIB

Vick says he?s ?getting close? to a deal
By LARRY O'DELL, Associated Press Writer 5 hours, 23 minutes ago
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP)?Michael Vick(notes) said Thursday that he is getting close to signing with a professional football team but refused to elaborate.
Vick made the comment to reporters as he left a courtroom after a hearing in his bankruptcy case. Asked about his progress in signing with a team, Vick said: ?We?re getting close.? He declined to answer additional questions.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally reinstated Vick on Monday, a week after the former Atlanta Falcons star completed his 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring. Vick is free to sign with a team and could be playing in the NFL by week six.
He also could play in one of a couple of football minor leagues if no NFL team signs him. His agent, Joel Segal, did not immediately return a telephone message.
Vick, 29, did not speak during the hearing. Afterward, the U.S. bankruptcy trustee and a lawyer for Vick?s creditors shook Vick?s hand and congratulated him on his NFL reinstatement. Vick thanked them and said, ?It?s exactly what I needed at this point in my life.?
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro postponed until Friday a decision on whether to approve $1.5 million in legal fees sought by Crowell & Moring, the Madison Avenue law firm representing Vick in the Chapter 11 case. Santoro was astonished that the firm is billing Vick for 8,000 hours of work over about 10 months.
?I don?t understand how that happens,? said Santoro.
Vick?s local attorney, Paul Campsen, said New York attorneys Michael Blumenthal and Peter Ginsberg were unable to attend the hearing because bad weather held up their flight. Santoro said he wants an explanation of the hours on Friday, when he will conduct a hearing on Vick?s bankruptcy plan.
Crowell & Moring originally sought more than $2.6 million, but agreed to slash the amount to $1.5 million after the U.S. trustee and attorneys for one of Vick?s major creditors, Joel Enterprises Inc., complained in court papers that the fees were excessive.
Vick filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2008 while he was serving his sentence in the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan. The former Virginia Tech star spent the last two months of his sentence on home confinement in Hampton.
