Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole has been told that $3 million of Michael Vick's $15.5 million salary for 2013 becomes guaranteed on March 11, not February 6 as previously reported.
The later date allows the Eagles more time to think things over now that Chip Kelly is on board. It's thought that with Kelly now in town, Vick may be more willing to renegotiate his massive deal and stick around. The quarterback's departure from Philadelphia was once widely viewed as a lock, but it now seems to be less certain.

I have to think that this was discussed at length during Kelly's interview.  I doubt the extra time makes a difference

vick will stay here on a restructured deal and get an opportunity to compete for the starting role

[seengreen]

Vick has said he wouldn't renegotiate. He's undeserving of that much. The 3 million is one thing. But 15 milli for what he's done is absurd with or without the new HC. Vick will play 12 games. How can Kelly see a QB he can build around with Vick's tale of the tape? Kelly is more exuberant about Foles' potential than what he sees in Vick. This is such a strange situation due to the firing of Reid, the extension of Vick's guaranteed money and the timing of the Kelly new hire.

Why would you want a vastly slowing down, beat up, and unable to read a defense QB playing a read option offense? 3/4 of the design on offense is the QB's ability to make the right read. Vick has never had even close to a long stretch of making great reads. Plus there is no point to design an offense that is suited for Vick when he can't even stay healthy a full season. When he goes down who will run the offense?

I wouldn't try to convince that guy of anything Anti-Vick. Dude has some odd hard on for him.

LOL Biggest Vicknuthugger of ALL TIME!

Your heart is going to be broken

[wildturtle]

he still lacks the:

Accuracy
intelligence
durability
and ball security to operate in chips Kelly's Oregon O.  But hey he's still fast so lets keep him at QB  

[superdawk20]

Could they possibly pay the 3 million then try to trade vick?

[gapound33]

Who want a QB(N.Foles) that cant throw the ball 30 yards down the field....It never came out of Vick mouth that he would not restructure that was a rumor, get the fact straight.

[gibsonplyer]

From what I understand of Kelly  1)  a sack is ALWAYS the QBs fault  and 2) he HATES turn overs.  Last I checked Vick turns the ball over a lot and gets sacked a lot

You never like Vick so whatever he did or does wouldhave make u happy, but I bet you are happy you have The Great N.Foles

[Token.]

I say Vick will be cut ASAP so Kelly doesnt have to deal with the questions for the next two months.  Well.... i hope anyway.

Who is going to offer anything for a guy that will most likely be cut? If they pay the 3 and can't trade him they just wasted 3 million.

Love your avatar BTW.

No one is saying Foles is great but we know what we have in Vick.

[kevkro64]

Good, more time is better, but Vick's time is up in Philly.  Keep Foles and Edwards and bring in Dennis Dixon.

clearly you didn't watch the preseason when foles was dropping bomb's 60+ in the air

[heavywchamp]

Man I hope Vick actually restructures and stays just to piss 98% of this board off.  That would be epic.  I can actually deal with another year of him since I want us to be in the position to get Johnny Football next year anyway.  One good thing about kelly is that he runs thye ball a lot and when he does pass hey are usually qucik screens and slants.  That alone should minimize the amount of time Vick has the ball in his hands rather than the long drawn out pass-pass-pass plays we were accustomed to seeing from AR scheme.

Tryrod Taylor or Terrell Pryor

[DawkinsOwnage03]

Pryor is so good Leihnart was ahead of him on the depth chart.

In Oakland?  Don't forget we're talking about the same team who sold their future by trading for Palmer.  Nothing as far a personnel desicions should be taken seriously when it comes to Oakland.  I just threw a name out there when mentioning Pyror since he was dynamic in college who would fit Chip's scheme if he were in fact to try it in the NFL.  I bet The skins wish they'd kept their pick had they known Wilson would still be there in the second round seeing how he is just as dynamic and even better than RG3.  Just throw names out there they we don't know about.

I don't know man but iluveagles stuck by his Chip Kelly signing here even when it was all said and done that he would go back to Oregon. I'm serious about hoping Vick stays one more year just to piss off everyone on this board.  I don't care because I don't think Foles is the guy and I want us to make strong push for Johnny Football if he decides to come out next year.

[nipples]

He still doesn't belong.

Even if for arguments' sake we assume Kelly is going to bring the same offense he runs at Oregon to Philly (which I highly doubt), Vick still doesn't fit. That offense doesn't just require athleticism from the QB, but also a guy who is going to make GOOD DECISIONS.  A read-option requires a QB to be able to READ the play, and make a decision... what about Vick's play over his 10+ year career would lead anyone to believe that he can that read?

Why is it that everyone who speaks poor English and is an Eagles fan is a Vick supporter and a Foles basher?

The whole Foles can't throw the ball 30 yards down the field clearly shows that you haven't been watching him play.
