According to the analyst on the NFL Channel. They all seem to believe N.E. is looking at Vick. I was shocked by it too. Since that seems like the last spot NE needs to be concerned with.
This blogger doesn't think they'll do it, firstly because of how Vick's contract would be treated under the cap rules, which I don't understand and haven't even tried to understand.
