Michael Vick Hasn't Discussed One-Day Retirement Deal With Falcons

May 30, 2017 7:18 PM

Michael Vick has clarified recent statements regarding his retirement, saying he has not spoken with anyone from the Atlanta Falcons about signing a one-day contract to retire with the team.

"Well, I haven't talked to anybody about it specifically," Vick said. "It's something that I've really been thinking about trying to get done. I was asked the question the other day -- is that what I want -- and I said, 'Yeah.'

"So, yeah, I think in due time, it's something that can potentially happen."

Vick has maintained a close relationship with Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who invited him to attend the final regular-season game at the Georgia Dome.

Dirk Koetter Apologizes For '28-3' Shot At Falcons

May 26, 2017 11:36 AM

Dirk Koetter has apologized after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tweeted a '28-3' joke to the Atlanta Falcons.

"I want to sure on behalf of the Bucs organization that I apologize for whatever that was supposed to be that went out on social media yesterday," Koetter said. "That's not what our organization is about and that was totally unprofessional and not smart on our part, whoever was responsible for that. Heck, we want to be playing in the Super Bowl and we were sitting on our butt while they were playing. So we've got no room to make fun of anyone in the Super Bowl whether they won or not."

The Buccaneers' tweet to the Falcons was in response to Atlanta mocking Tampa Bay's fidget spinner promotion.
