The Facts:
Following up on an ongoing story. ... Vick is getting one more big check from the Philadelphia Eagles. The one after that still could be from a new team. A person with knowledge of the contract said the Eagles will pay Vick a $1.5 million roster bonus due Tuesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As AP sports writer Rob Maaddi notes, paying Vick the bonus doesn’t preclude Philadelphia from trading the former Pro Bowl QB. Vick is under contract for $5.2 million this year. The Eagles are buying themselves more time — and possibly a draft pick — by giving Vick the bonus. The alternative was to release him and not get anything in return. The Eagles already have Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb, and Vick has stated he’d prefer to go somewhere he can be a starter. HC Andy Reid has repeatedly said he isn’t opposed to keeping all three QBs.
