SOURCES: VICK WORKING OUT FOR PATRIOTS
Three years ago, the idea of Michael Vick and Tom Brady on the same roster would have been unfathomable. Today, it could become a reality.
Vick is currently working out for the Patriots staff at Gillette Stadium, a very reliable NFL source just told me. The source said, as of 3:30 p.m., Vick was on the field attempting to display that he remains one of the most athletic players the NFL had seen prior to his arrest.
Keep in mind, Iגve kept a close eye on ProFootballTalk.com, and I also read Tom Curranגs comments about the matter (גYou can rule out that Michael Vick is in the building with the Patriots now. You can also rule out that he was there earlier in the day or that he will be there later.ג)
As a result, I have continued to peck at my source, asking the person multiple times in multiple conversations to check and re-check the information. And while I have the utmost respect for Curranגs reporting, Iגm now comfortable enough to go with this based on a forwarded e-mail I received from that source.
A second source has now also confirmed it.
Now for some background on what else has gone down today related to this story. But keep in mind, the information I learned is NOT a result of any interpretation of Bill Belichick's comment, but rather independent information that has nothing to do with the comments at all. Earlier in Foxboro, Belichick was asked whether he or the organization had ruled out signing Vick. Iגll post below an excerpt from a story by Chris Gasper of the Boston Globe:
"Have we ruled it out? I don't know that it's ruled in or ruled out. I'm not not answering your question. I'm saying I don't think it's ever been put that way, so I can't really answer that."
The follow-up question was then whether he was interested in signing Vick.
"You know I think we would consider..." said Belichick, before seemingly reversing field. "We're coaching the players that we have on the field right now, so that's who is here. So, anybody who isn't here is there potential that they could be here? Yeah, there probably is. But right now they're not.
"We're coaching the 80 players that are here, so until we get somebody else we're coaching them. When we get somebody else in here, which I'm sure at some point we will, then we'll coach them and the players that are here. Who that's going to be? Right now, it's the 80 players who are here. That's all I can tell you."
When it was pointed out to Belichick that it didn't sound like he was ruling the 29-year-old Vick out, he repeated his refrain of coaching the players he had in camp.
"I'm coaching the players that are here that are on this team. That's what we do. I'm not coaching anybody else. I'm sure at some point somebody else will be here. I don't know who that is going to be. If I knew, they'd already be here."
Yes, this one could really go down. Soon. Stay tuned.
