He inked a $62 million deal that included a $15 million signing bonus. After a year waiting in the wings, took over the starting position in the 2002 season, and led the team to its first playoff berth since the 1998 NFC Championship season.

I’m rooting for Vick. No one deserves to pay the rest of their life after completing a prison sentence. Although I think the punishment was too harsh, I’m happy that Vick has a chance to resume his career. I’ll buy a Vick jersey and wear it proudly.
