Vick Agent: 'One Day at a Time'

POSTED: Friday, February 26, 2010, 10:02 AM

Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer

If Joel Segal, agent for Michael Vick, knows where his client might be playing this season, Segal wasn't saying so this morning, as he headed into the annual agents' meeting at the NFL Scouting Combine.

"It's one day at a time," Segal said. "Hopefully we'll talk to the Eagles here and see what's up."

Yeah, that would be good.

The Birds are expected to trade Vick, after shepherding the quarterback through his return to the NFL last season. They have to pick up a $1.5 million roster bonus he is due March 5, if he is still an Eagle then. It seems unlikely any team will trade for Vick without knowing for sure the Eagles are paying the bonus; they could just release him.

Officially, the Eagles are still entertaining the idea of keeping Vick, Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb, all of whom will be in the final year of their contract in 2010.

Meanwhile, Vick was in Durham, N.C., today, speaking at New Horizons Academy of Excellence, a school that provides second chances for students that have dropped out or been suspended from other facilities.

The event was part of Vick's tour of speaking engagements about ending dogfighting. He spoke about taking responsibility and not becoming a product of a bad environment.

"You have to be bigger than that,” he said.

Other teams are hoping that we do not pay the bonus and cut him so how can we expect to trade him when you can pick him up for nothing once he gets cut? I say just pay the bonus and then shop him for top value...maybe a second round pick or a player in exchange. Nothing will happen before the bonus deadline...

Leave already no talent Thug. People are crazy to think anyone will give up a second round pick for him, be lucky with a 5th.

Les, you're such a lap dog (Pun intended). You might as well tell us what Reno Mahe's agent said. Anything to justify stealing money and calling it a job for a living I guess.

Lucky for Vick that The Eagles are nothing like Bad Newz Kennels because if they were, considering his meager, pathetic performance, he would have been taken out back by now and either shot, electrocuted, hanged or bludgeoned to death.

I don't see how Vick would paticipate in such a horrible act. All the blame goes to him and he should never be able to put on another uniform again. Let him work at McDonalds and see how much he scerew up those poor dogs that had to go through those sadist acts are the real victims not poor Mike Vick the guy is just a bad person. It seems like he derives pain from others mostly animals and it is pathetic. He dosent deserve to hook on with another team. I don't know if this is true or not but i heard he was broke, let him go to burger king and work. I'm sure he would not be happy and finnaly realize what he did was wrong. His interviews he gives look at his eyes and you could tell he is lying and he feels no remorse about what he did.
