Eagles Tag Mike Vick



The Philadelphia Eagles will make it official next month and place their franchise tag on quarterback Michael Vick, a league source has confirmed.

The move will prevent Vick from leaving Philadelphia this offseason and ensure he's tied to the Eagles for the 2011 season. ESPN

Vick made $5.25 million in 2010 but would make an estimated $20 million -- the average salary for the five highest-paid quarterbacks in the league -- if he is designated the Eagles' franchise player. So much for him being in financial trouble.

This is the right move for the Eagles. Mike Vick had an outstanding year, and should be their QB for the future. The Eagles still have Kevin Kolb for 1.4 million this year, and I see no reason to get rid of him, unless someone blows you away. With Vick's crazy style of play they constantly need a QB on call.

With Vick running the offense the Eagles should be on top of the NFC East for years to come.
