From the dog house to the jail house – Michael Vick will now be in the Eagles club house. Philadelphia has signed the former Falcon to a two-year deal, his agent, Joel Segal, confirmed to ESPN.com.
The Eagles will hold a news conference on Friday morning to announce his signing. It had been reported Vick arrived in Philadelphia on Tuesday and that is when negotiations had started.
Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games.
The 2001 NFL #1 Pick has now got his second chance after a 23-Month prison sentence for running a dogfighting operation.
Convicted in August 2007, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and suspended indefinitely by the NFL.
After serving his time and being released from home confinement July 20, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick’s suspension, allowing him to sign with a team.
