Sources: Falcons to ask return of bonus money at hearing


The Atlanta Falcons have asked their troubled quarterback Michael Vick to return more than $16 million in bonus money in a case that will be argued in a hearing Thursday, according to sources with knowledge of the case.


The Falcons contend that Vick should return the money because his recent guilty plea to federal dogfighting charges puts him in violation of the 10-year, $130 million contract he signed in December 2004.

But the NFL Players Association will argue in the hearing before the NFL's special master, University of Pennsylvania Law School professor Stephen Burbank, that Vick has already earned the bonus money, which was in the form of roster bonuses, and that under the current collective bargaining agreement reached in March a team cannot retrieve money already earned.

NFLPA to appeal arbitrator's ruling that Falcons can reclaim Vick bonuses

ATLANTA -- Michael Vick has taken another hit -- and this one could cost him nearly $20 million.
Already facing prison time, the disgraced quarterback lost the first round in his financial battle with the Atlanta Falcons when an arbitrator ruled Tuesday that Vick should repay much of the bonus money he got while secretly bankrolling a gruesome dogfighting ring.
The case is far from over. The players' union said it will appeal the ruling by Stephen B. Burbank, a University of Pennsylvania law professor and special master who oversaw last week's arbitration hearing in Philadelphia.
The Falcons argued that Vick, who pleaded guilty to federal charges for his role in the long-running operation, knew he was in violation of the contract when he signed a 10-year, $130 million deal in December 2004.

Vick's high school removes his old football jersey from trophy case

October 10, 2007

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) -- Michael Vick's old jersey has been removed from his high school's trophy case because of his conviction on a federal dogfighting charge. The suspended NFL quarterback played for two seasons at Warwick High School from 1996-97 before going on to stardom Virginia Tech and being drafted first overall by the Atlanta Falcons in 2001. In August, he pleaded guilty to the federal charge, admitting that he helped kill six to eight dogs, and will be sentenced Dec. 10.

The Falcons do realize that each million out of their hands becomes something less than 1 million in Vick's?

Attempting to recover full value for the paid bonus is usurious.

1. That is between Vick and his agent

2. Given that two banks have sued Vick for defaulting on million-dollar loans, I don't think there is any reason to expect the Falcons will recover anywhere near $20 million.
