Michael Vick will no longer play in the Fan Controlled Football League | The veteran QB returns to retirement
There were rumors that Michael Vick would return to the football field and it had a bunch of people fired up to see the former athletic freak of a quarterback.
Vick however has decided that he will not suit up this week and play for the Fan Controlled Football League.
“I hung ‘em up in 2015 never to return again. Had an amazing time and accomplished so much. I say that to say, they’re going to stay hung up and I will not be coming out of retirement. I appreciate the opportunity to play but I’d rather put my executive hat on with the little ownership that I have!” Vick wrote on Twitter.
Vick was 41 years-old, but that should not make you question whether or not he can still play. The guy has always been a specimen. So many former veterans are a part of the FCF. Guys like Terrell Owens, Johnny Manziel, and Marshawn Lynch are all involved. I would not be shocked if Vick comes on as well as a potential owner to help the league grow.
