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 a good person, Blam! I hope the little toy Terrier improves even more. I know what you volunteer to do may not be appreciated by all but I do! I personally think that in the end, we are judged by the kindness we show here on earth. It doesn’t matter what our income is or if we have awards on the wall. It doesn’t matter if we are on television or if our name is known by thousands of households. It matters how we improve things here and you do!!

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?

You keep positing false conclusions or arguments. I never said what Vick did was acceptable and as a matter of fact I do own dogs. My comments are directed solely to what you have said. You want Vick dead. That is wrong.

I have one child that I raised after his mother died at the age of four. He is 43 years old now and has a PhD in physics.

FF, there's something wrong with you.

If Michael Vick died...the world would be a happier place, period.

Where does it say in the laws of this country that because one person rescued dogs it gives them a right to take away another man’s liberty?

After you shoot Vick and myself, and you somehow manage to get out of prison after serving your time, I still support your right to earn a living.

You're so stupid I'm not even going to respond to you anymore. How DO you manage with such a low IQ?

No,valuing human life over that of a dog is not wrong. Wanting to dance and party when somebody kills Vick is wrong.You are wrong.

Well done not answering the question. I didn’t expect someone as irrationally clueless as you to come up with a thoughtful response.

I’m not sorry for believing someone has the right to use their skills to earn a living after they serve their time. And I don’t know why anybody would condone violence against other citizens, no matter how much you might not like what they’ve done in the past.

All of Michael Vick's troubles were Bush's fault and under my enlighten administration... he has finally been rewarded with all he deserves, including this dog I intend to present to him after I issue my Obama/Lincoln Memorial Anti-Racism in the NFL Executive Order for him to win the Super Bowl this February.

You cannot make this stuff up... can you?

Good question. Unfortunately, the deal makers often live in a bubble world and make decisions based on bad marketing data.

Right on my friend. I 100% agree. This guy should be 6 ft under but since he is not he should never be allowed to go near a dog again as long as he lives. Vick is a sick effed up psycho. I predict that sometime in the future he will be involved in something a lot worse than killing a dog. When it happens remember I said it.

Anyone who opposes Vick making as much money with his talents as he can is not a conservative.

I think many are upset not so much with Vick for signing the contract, but that there is an owner willing to pay that kind of money for scumbags like vick.
