Teams that might trade for Vick
The Falcons are actively seeking to trade Michael Vick. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team is preparing to trade the rights to the imprisoned and suspended quarterback, according to the team???s Web site. One question the Falcons will have to address is whether to trade Vick within the division. Carolina and Tampa Bay are among several teams that could be in the market for a quarterback. Other candidates include Detroit, Cleveland, Kansas City, the New York Jets, San Francisco and Chicago. Also, former Falcons head coach Jim Mora, who went to the NFC championship game with Vick, is head coach in Seattle.
Greg Knapp, the former offensive coordinator for the Falcons when Vick was the starting quarterback, is on Mora's staff. In November, The Associated Press contacted the other 31 teams about acquiring Vick. Most refused comment, citing league tampering rules. However, six teams said they would not shut the door on acquiring Vick.
