Michael Vick said Thursday that he is getting close to signing with a team, but declined to elaborate further.
Vick made the comment to reporters as he left a courtroom after a hearing in his bankruptcy case. Asked about his progress in signing with a team, Vick said: "We're getting close." He declined to answer additional questions.
Vick is free to sign with a team and could be playing in the NFL by week six.
He also could play in one of a couple of football minor leagues if no NFL team signs him. His agent, Joel Segal, did not immediately return a telephone message.
