Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Vick was suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday after he pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges in Virginia. The suspension cleared the way for the Falcons to go after bonus payments already made to Vick. In order for the Falcons to recoup any money, Vick must remain on the Falcons' roster. That basically means Vick will remain on the club's roster until his legal matters are resolved. If Atlanta receives the bonus money from Vick, it will be applied to the team's salary cap for the 2008 season.
