I think that's what happened with Vick...at first


NFL didn't want to be seen as black-balling Vick so the teams drew straws (or a gentleman's agreement somewhere) and took him for $1M. No big deal.

Turned out he could still play so Philly gave him $10M and Vick played a few more years.

I could see that, back room agreement, someone picks him up for $1M gets K out of the news. Kinda a lucky guy, gets to the superbowl w/SF sort of a a pro "dual threat" but not a great passer which doesn't usually work too well in the pros. (See Logan Thomas)

The problem with his protest is he was spending other people's money to protest, so donating his own kinda passes a test on sincerity.
