The Michael Vick era is officially over.
More than a year removed from the dogfighting scandal that left him disgraced and behind bars, the former No. 1 draft pick was released by the Atlanta Falcons this morning. The Falcons replaced Vick last season by drafting Matt Ryan, who made an immediate impact in leading the Falcons into the playoffs.
"We feel his best opportunity to re-engage his football career would be at another club," Falcons general manager Tom Dimitroff said in a statement released this morning. Vick remains suspended from the league, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell remains unclear as to when, or if, he will reinstate the ostracized quarterback.
