The Facts:
Vick is free to sign with any NFL team now... but there's a lot of hesitation out there. As teams await commissioner Roger Goodell's ruling, one expectation is that Goodell will conditionally reinstate Vick, allowing him to go to someone's camp, but withhold a final ruling until, say, Sept. 1, the first day of mandatory roster cut-downs.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Under that calendar, an NFL team wouldn't be signing Vick as its starting quarterback and probably not even as a backup QB. According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Vick would be signed as an athlete, a commodity, a third-string quarterback who can do the Wildcat thing and even give the defense a Wildcat look on the scout team. Mort added: "Maybe he'll be asked to play slot receiver, a little defensive back and return kicks. Who knows?" That final question is most pertinent. And until somebody does know, Vick's Fantasy value remains zero.
