And out of the left field, the Philadelphia Eagles have signed Michael Vick to a two year deal, one of them being a team optional.
So...what do we think? Is this what the Eagles needed to stop choking? Or, judging by the photo above, does Vick pull an Artest with a Philadelphia fan (who will undoubtedly deserve it)?

I think that this signing will make the Eagles the most popular team to play with in Madden. McNabb and Vick? Come on now.
In the real world... I dunno. I don't have any doubt that Vick will return to his pre-prison form and hit 53% of his targets, throw bad picks, and take huge sacks (he'll also burn defenses with his feet of course). This question is... how long will it take for him to return to this level?
One thing for sure is that he's a game breaker... but I don't know how the Eagles will work him into an offense. Splitting carries at running back is one thing, but spitting snaps between QBs is an entirely different animal because of the QB's greater role on the team. The Eagles and the Dolphins, with the addition of QB Pat White, will be very interesting to watch this year.
The Eagles didn't sign Vick to bring attention to their team, they signed him to help them win games. This wasn't a desperate attempt by a low-level NFL team like the Raiders to bring any kind of press to their team: the Eagles were just one game away from the Superbowl last year. They're good.
Does this make then Superbowl good? We shall see.
I don't think Vick will be any kind of problem for Philadelphia. They've got nothing to lose by signing him, and plenty to gain.
With the evolution of the Wildcat, Vick might become a viable fantasy option. Just saying.
With the the first pick in the 2009 Hudson NFL fantasy Draft, Ben Dionne selects.... Michael Vick- of the Philadelphia Eagles!
He picked someone who is almost certainly a back up with the first overall pick?
