By Cindy Boren – Saying, “To be honest, I never thought this day would come again,” Michael Vick thanked the people who have helped him recover his status as one of the NFL’s pre-eminent quarterbacks.
Along with that status, Vick got a $100 million, six-year contract from the Philadelphia Eagles, one that makes him the third-highest paid QB in the league and prompted a press conference today in Philadelphia.
(Update: Philly.com reports that sources say $40 million of that sum is guaranteed money and with Vick’s deal lowering his salary cap number from $16 million to about $14.4 million, the Eagles may now be able to turn their attention to re-signing disgruntled wide receiver DeSean Jackson.)
