Michael Vick is excited for the opportunity to start Week 17 due to the injury to Nick Foles, but he doesn't view it as an audition for next season.

"I'm excited about it," Vick told USA Today. "I love the game of football. I love playing football. Regardless of our record, I'm excited to be out there. "I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to play again. I plan on taking advantage of it."

Vick won't be owed any money by the Eagles if they release him by Feb. 6.

"I'm not going out to audition for a job. I'm going out to try and win," Vick told USA Today. "My play and what I've done for this league and the accolades that I have speak for themselves. The thing I want to do is improve. Whatever happens next year happens. I'm just going to be a guy who, wherever I'm at, I'm going to make the team better."
