Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a six-year contract and a league source told ESPN's Andrew Brandt the deal is worth $100 million.

The Eagles made the announcement Monday night.

A league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Vick's deal contains roughly $40 million guaranteed.

The Eagles designated Vick with their franchise player tag before the lockout and had until Sept. 20 to sign him to a multiyear contract.

Under the franchise tender, Vick was set to earn about $16 million this year. He once had a $130 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons that was the NFL's richest before losing two seasons of his career while incarcerated for 18 months in a federal prison for dogfighting.

You are mentally ill. Go join Democratic Underground. That’s the place for people who don’t believe in liberty and law.

He’s not worth it and they know it.

He is worth it or he wouldn't get it. Colleges increasingly run spread offenses which don't prepare QBs for a pro-style offense. Halfway decent NFL QBs are actually pretty rare. That's why a talent like Andrew Luck who runs a pro-style offense in college and does it very well will get a fortune when he comes out next year. And that's why Vick just got the Brinks truck backed up in his driveway - he's a special talent who can change games when he's healthy.

So lets compare the ticket sales and TV ratings before Vick, is it that much higher?

This SOB doesn’t even deserve to live

Are you serious? Are you really serious? So everyone who kills an animal should die? What are you doing about those who kill humans? You are frightening!

I will not apologize for defending the U.S. Constitution and the rights of American citizens from your bogus attacks.

You are the sick one for minimizing then rewarding this sick behavior.

I wonder....all these bleeding hearts STILL weeping into their lace hankies over a couple of DOGS.....how many of them give anywheres CLOSE to a DAMN about the millions of innocent children who have been and ARE BEING slaughtered every day, just in this country; not to mention the rest of the world?!

A voice of sanity! Thank you. This thread is full of mind-boggling hatred. Over dogs. Unbelievable.

LOL.

Blam. You are on the wrong forum. You are not even remotely a conservative.

I’ve figured out Vick’s special talent.

When I go to the range I imagine him standing down by the target.

It’s had a very positive effect on my accuracy.

I hope a broken neck is in his immediate future.

Wow you are quite the member of the human race. Would you like him to be paralyzed? Para or quad? Your comment is much sicker than anything Vick has done.

You are 100 times sicker than Vick, IMO.

What did I say about minimizing his behavior? What did I say about rewarding his behavior?

Nothing.

What I did say, and I will repeat it, is that YOU are sick for wanting to kill Vick. That is sick.

No one deserves a broken neck. I’m stunned, however, by how his fortunes changed both literally and figuratively over the past few years. My family is struggling right now and that article took the wind out of my sails for a moment.

I don't want to kill Vick...if someone else did, I'd be very happy.

He's the scum of the earth, period.

He was my least favorite player of all times before his dog fighting idiocy.

I rescue abused and abandoned dogs...I presently have six in my custody that I am caring for.

I'm happy to announce that a little Toy Terrier that I thought would not make it yesterday looks very promising today.

You just don't know the horrors that people inflict on their helpless animals.

I tell my friends that dogs pay a terrible price to be man's best friend.

If you saw some of the injuries the poor guys receive you wouldn't think so kindly of monsters like Michael Vick.

Click on my name to see some of the dogs that I previously rescued.

How many have you rescued?

As self-righteous as you seem to be it must be many, huh?

Someone should have shot this POS when he was discovered torturing and killing dogs. Earth would be a better place without this scum.

I don't want to kill Vick...if someone else did, I'd be very happy.

Oh, now I get it, you want to celebrate Vick's death, but you don't have the guts to do it yourself. You want someone else to do it so you can party. I hope you don't have children.
