An article on Yahoo Sports say that Michale Vicks thinks his talent is worth millions to the NFL.
"I don't know what kind of access Michael Vick has had to newspapers, magazines and the Internet in prison, but it seems like the news that he is no longer a hot commodity has not yet filtered down to Michael Vick.
In papers he submitted to a bankruptcy court, Vick indicated that he plans on making $10 million per season, which I'm pretty sure would be a record for an ex-con who had a career quarterback rating of 75.7 when he went away. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
The embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback is hoping to earn as much as $10 million a year or more, according to court filings in his bankruptcy case. Under the plan he submitted to the court, Vick would keep the first $750,000 of his annual income over the next five years. After that, a percentage would go to his creditors based on a sliding scale. [...]
In a March 4 court filing, Vick's attorneys say he "has every reason to believe upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living."
"He is hopeful to play quarterback," Daniel Meachum, an attorney and business manager for Vick, said in an interview. "There is no person with his talent in that position in all the league."
I don't care if he has the best arm in football, any one convicted of running a dog fight ring, does not deserve the right to sign a contract for that kind of money. Here is a man who made millions playing football, but decided it would be more fun to engage in a criminal activity.
I am tired of the cry babies and criminals in pro sports. If you break the law, then your pro career is over.

As far as being a pro he is no different than the rest of us in my mind and should have to face the music.
