Michael Vick was a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons before being arrested for his involvement in an illegal dog fighting ring. The investigation lead to his suspension, investigation into the ring and eventually a 23 month prison stay. Vick's scheduled release form prison is in May 2009 and it's unsure if he will be able to regain his status as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. He has also managed to accrue a great deal of debt.

New league will consider signing Vick

When the United Football League debuts in October, Michael Vick could be one of its players.

Michael Huyghue, the commissioner of the new four-team league, says the UFL is willing to give Vick a place to play — provided there are no pending legal issues. His rights belong to the Orlando franchise.

Vick already has served an 18-month sentence in federal prison for his involvement in a dogfighting ring. He is under home confinement until July 20, after which the NFL is expected to announce whether the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback will be suspended.

Vick, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, has not played football since the 2006 season.
