he helps with ticket sales, but the money from the jersey sales goes to the league, and then is redistributed to every team, not just the falcons, so his impact there for the team is minimal.

in a no salary cap world he is worth every penny, but if this contract hamstrings the falcons then it is no good.

I don't know the specifics of the contract, but it is my understanding that the way they structered it actually helps them with the cap.

I don't think Vick is worth that much money nor do I think he will be around in 10 years. His style of play is injury prone and his longevity is questionable. He will definitely lose his speed in 4 or 5 years and will have to become a pocket passer if he is going to be successful after that time.

The bottom line is that if Atlanta did not pay him that much, some team would have.

Only way I think Vick is worth it is how much money he makes the Flacons. He isn't the best QB in the league but with his jersey sales and how many people he can get to come watch him play he is worth it tohe the franchise. Think about what they have without him. Noone would come watch them play.
