- Marcus Vick would be a better fit for the Raiders. He's emotionally disturbed, lacks the requisite throwing skills, and is otherwise a misfit. Now that's a Raider!
- If Atlanta were to trade Mike Vick it would leave a void that's hard to fill. Angry, confused, and fumbling quarterbacks don't appear out of thin air. Unless the Steelers are looking to move Big Ben.
Will the Falcons move Vick? He's a hot commodity despite his sub par performance at the position. In addition, and it's no small issue, there are a number of people who look at Vick and believe that he gets undue heat because of his race. Are the Falcons willing to stimulate the debate?
Atlanta is home to the legacy of Martin Luther King. A high profile athlete like Vick, playing a position regarded by many as the toughest in sports, is important to many people. And were it not for Vick's emotional extension of his middle digits he'd likely be safe. Now, in acting out, he's opened the door for Arthur Blank to move him.
In the end Vick, as is habit, fumbled away his chance to stay a Falcon.

Doesn't his contract make him nigh untradeable? I admit ignorance in this matter, but it's always something I wonder in NFL deal rumors.
He needs to just suck it up and become a kickass running back.
He can be traded if he's okay with it. Convincing him shouldn't be hard-a nickel bag would probably suffice.
