The Facts:
If Vick's
upcoming visit with the New York Jets leads to a contract, he won't be signing on to mentor Geno Smith. Metro New York's Kristian Dyer reports, via a team source, Vick will be given a chance to compete with Smith if the Jets do sign the veteran. "Nothing beyond that is guaranteed," the source told Dyer.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Dyer's source went on to explain, "Geno has a bright future. We certainly drafted him thinking he can start in this league and he did last year. But competition is important to this franchise and Michael will know that if he comes here, he will be expected to compete. That will be our message. ..." If it's a fair competition, NFL.com's Chris Wesseling believes Vick will win it. Wesseling has some valid points: Vick has years of experience in Marty Mornhinweg's offense. He also gives Rex Ryan a better chance to win now with an improved offense and a defensive front seven that is among the league's best. But it all hinges on Vick being the same guy who beat out Nick Foles last summer (before injuries allowed Folk to take over during the regular season). For fantasy football owners, however, Vick certainly has upside if he's starting. We'll be watching for more.
