he doesn't have any leverage however. They don't have to trade him. That is the thing -- the eagles don't have to do anything. let him hold out, from what I understand he isn't "earning time" to be free of his contract. so he will be that much further from being free and not getting paid.
which is why almost all of the holdouts end up coming back.
they aren't going to trade him.
The opening scene of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" is loosely based on games of dodgeball Brian Dawkins played in second grade.
Remember, that fat contract wasn't enough to feed his family. How's he gonna feed them if he is unemployed? Like athlete's foot, he gets under your skin and he'll be back.

TO's said repeatedly when the 40ers had him, he wanted a QB who could make him look even better. Vick can't throw as is, he's the last QB TO would want.
Besides, talking about TO on Atlanta, or Minny, or any other good NFC team is nonsense. The Eagles would sit him for the year and let him hold out, rather than give a team that could face them in the playoffs a weapon like TO.

ive seen vick play ever since high school, the guy can throw. but having a discussion about whether or not vick is acutually a good QB, is like having a political discussion. me and vick 4 mayor will always be saying hes a good QB and everyone else will just say no.
and this whole thread is nonsense because the eagles arent gonna trade TO. the whole thing is what ifs.
He stays for the Eagles this year. Misses no games, and puts up huge numbers. Gets everyone excited.
Until they cut him next season. I forget where I heard this, on ESPNews I think, that he has a big contract bonus they'd need to pay him before the 2006 season. But it depends on how he does this season I would think.
