Time to Leave Well Enough Alone

by Bassett on February 17th, 2009 at 7:52 am

As best I can recollect, any speculation that Vick could come to New York started with this article in the Daily News.

The list includes Hall-of-Fame wide receiver James Lofton and former Ravens receivers coach Mike Johnson, who used to be Michael Vick’s position coach in Atlanta – a connection that would fuel speculation on possible interest in Vick if he lands the job.

Since Cimini published this, Henry Ellard has been hired as the Jets WR coach instead of Mike Johnson. Other than that, only other development has been that the Falcons have expressed interest in trading his rights.

Although there’s a real sensation here that’s fun for media types to rile up New Yorkers, the Jets have made it clear they’re not interested and Ryan himself said he’s not thought about Vick at all. The Jets aren’t interested in Vick … at least as a QB.

    The media likes to eat this stuff up so despite the repeated “No’s” for Vick, the stories are going to keep rolling out until they are near beaten and battered. Oh well, not a priority for New York so nothing to worry about.

    Jet fans should just let sleeping dogs lie. We don’t need to fan the NY Media flames.

    Atlanta will have to cut him, theres no way any team would be willing to trade for him even if it would only cost the very last pick in the draft
