Michael Vick is one of the top free agent names on the market and now teams like the Minnesota Vikings, NY Jets, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be options for him heading into 2014 and there is a chance he will end up with a starting job this season after being backup for Nick Foles last season with the Eagles.
Vick comes into the offseason at the age of 34 and while he may not have much left in the tank, he could be a great option for teams developing a younger quarterback or for a team in transition like the Oakland Raiders. The Eagles likely are ready to let Vick go, especially with the way Nick Foles played last season and they have a young quarterback in Matt Barkley that is ready to take over as a backup. Foles was excellent last season and Vick has said that he wants to be a starter coming in 2014 and there are a number of teams that he could play for.
While there are a number of teams looking at young quarterbacks in the draft, that doesn't mean they can't make Vick the starter on top of that for a year or two and some options include the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns and the Minnesota Vikings. The Raiders are in the top five of the draft and so are the Browns and both are not set at QB heading into 2014, as Oakland did not get what it wanted out of Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin and now they could look to Vick to start next season.
The Browns are a complete mess and they are likely done with Brandon Weeden and he reportedly wants out after the coach and GM was fired after the season. Weeden, Jason Campbell and Brian Hoyer don't scream winning and while Vick is older, he could be an option for the team as they rebuild over the next couple years. Jimmy Haslam said he likes Manziel and Blake Bortles and those could be options for the Browns along with Vick.
The NY Jets are behind Geno Smith, but they also could bring in Vick as competition and if Mark Sanchez is gone, that makes it a bit more likely. The Raiders are a solid fit and other teams include the Buffalo Bills, as they could bring in competition for EJ Manuel, as well as the Buccaneers, who have a new coach in Lovie Smith and a young QB in Mike Glennon. Vick will have options, but to be a starter he needs the right situation and the right coaching staff and that is why the Jets fit, as his old OC is there now and Rex Ryan could use him to push Smith.
