The Facts: Vick will be 36 years old later this month. A "healthy 36" as he likes to say. And Vick's not ready to call it a career just yet. ... Unless he has no choice.

Vick has played 13 NFL seasons, but he also had a three-year stint out of football following a dog fighting scandal that landed him in prison. He resuscitated his career in Philadelphia with the Eagles. His fate now rests in the hands of the 32 NFL teams. They'll be the deciding factor for whether Vick gets a chance to go out the way he'd like.
