Another name floated has been the Panthers. Anyone thinking that needs to recall that the Richardson family is VERY strict on its players now - after the Rae Caruth issue, they are all about high character guys. Vick will have a hard time finding a team that is willing to take him on - they would have to be beyond desperate - or give him a backup slot and pray they don't have an injury. If someone signs him - it will be for cheap. And for those that think Vick as a RB - he doesn't have the build to take the punishment - so he would not last.
Edit - Also you have to hand it to Goodell - he really pinched Vick on this one. He said he could report to training camp, play in the preseason games - but then he is done until after week 6 when he can apply for full reinstatement - meaning a team would have to be willing to start someone else at QB for 6 games - then change mid stream. Won't happen. However - it WILL give him a chance to sit on the sidelines as a backup for a year - letting the "drama" die out and give him a shot at redemption without the same circus the following year. Many see that reinstatement path as keeping Vick from playing - what it really does is test him - to see if he has matured and humbled himself - and if so - gives him the opportunity to find a path back.
