Vick to Seattle?

July 31st, 2009 at Fri, 31st, 2009 at 11:08 am by Adam McFadden

Matt Bowen of national Football Post dropped a bit of a bombshell when he intimated Michael Vick could be heading to Seattle:

… The idea that Michael Vick could land in Seattle has been mentioned to me by multiple league sources over the past couple of days.

From what I’ve heard, new Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora had a great relationship with Vick while the two were in Atlanta – despite the negative reports circulating through the rumor mill right now – and that he actually “cares” about the former Falcon and his future. I’ve also been told that, from a public relations standpoint, Seattle would offer Vick some protection from the media since it isn’t a city that draws the kind of overwhelming national attention as a Dallas or a Pittsburgh…

Is there any meat to this report? I seem to remember Seahawks coach Jim Mora emphatically saying that he was happy with the current Seahawk quarterbacks, he even went back and changed his comment to remove “at this time” to make the point a little more clear (The quote is included in this article by the Seattle Times).

We don’t know what kind of shape Vick is in or how long it would take him to get his head back up to NFL speed, but I’m not sure if he’s even worth it. Seneca Wallace is already on the roster, so why would the team take a sure public relations hit to add one more mobile QB?
