Source: Vick’s release isn’t imminent | ProFootballTalk
AP
Last week, I crossed paths on several occasions with John Clayton of ESPN. Wed never met before, and I found him to be polite and friendly and collegial and free of any pony tail.
So lets see what I can now do to screw things up.
Danny ONeil of the Seattle Times has mentioned on Twitter that Clayton, appearing with ONeil on ESPN 710 in Seattle, said that Clayton expects the Eagles to release quarterback Mike Vick on Wednesday, a day before $3 million of Vicks $15.5 million base salary becomes fully guaranteed.
It was surprising, since it goes against multiple reports that the Eagles arent concerned about the $3 million guarantee. If hes ultimately cut the Eagles will get a dollar-for-dollar credit based on what Vick earns elsewhere.
And Ive reconfirmed via a source with direct knowledge of the situation that Vick wont be released before the Thursday deadline, and that the Eagles arent concerned about the vesting of the $3 million guarantee.
So well wait for Wednesday and Thursday to come and go without Vick being released, and Ill hope that the next time I run into John Clayton hell be polite and friendly and collegial.
The pony tail is optional.
