The Facts:
There's a faction that is gaining traction inside team headquarters that wants to cut bait with Vick. The QB apparently lied to the team and the commissioner about his involvement in a dog-fighting operation. They are weighing the ramifications of cutting him loose against riding out the storm and waiting for due process.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As TSN suggested, getting rid of Vick would be the easiest thing to do and solve the immediate public relations disaster. It's also worth noting that a growing body of observers -- NFL Network insider Adam Schefter and ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Len Pasquarelli and Merrill Hoge among them -- believe Vick will never play for the Falcons again, whether Vick is convicted on federal charges or not. The consensus also indicates that a conviction or plea bargain all but guarantee Vick never takes another snap as an NFL QB again. ... We shall see. For now, Vick's November trial makes it clear he won't play this season.
