Michael Vick can keep $16M in bonuses from Falcons
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday backed the judge who ruled against the NFL and let quarterback Michael Vick keep more than $16 million in roster bonuses from the Atlanta Falcons.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed Judge David Doty’s order saying Vick had already earned the bonuses before his dogfighting conviction, so the money wasn’t subject to forfeiture.
Vick served 18 months in prison and is now with the Philadelphia Eagles.
