Michael Vick Reportedly Inks $100 Million Contract with Philadelphia Eagles

Good News: Michael Vick is proof that you fall down, you can get back up, and can succeed despite the odds stacked against you.

From Sports Illustrated:

Michael Vick is really back on top now. Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed on a six-year contract on Monday that again makes the Pro Bowl quarterback one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.

A source familiar with the negotiations said the deal is worth $100 million, including about $40 million guaranteed. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because terms weren't released.

Vick has come a long way since spending 18 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges. He led the Eagles to the NFC East title last year, was the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl and was the AP Comeback Player of the Year. Read more: Vick signs $100M contract | Sports Illustrated
