In August 2007, hours after Vick pleaded guilty to federal charges in the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation, the NFL suspended him indefinitely without pay. After his release from prison, Vick was mentored by former Colts coach Tony Dungy. On August 13, 2009, Vick signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. He earned $1.6 million, of which no amount was guaranteed. The contract contained a team option for the 2010 season worth $5 million.

   Since his return Michael Vick has been putting up better career statistics then he has ever done before. Before his arrest his satus looked like this.

2001	ATL	8	2	113	50	44.2	785	6.9	2	3	62.7	31	289	9.3	1	21	113	6	5
2002	ATL	15	15	421	231	54.9	2936	7.0	16	8	81.6	113	777	6.9	8	33	206	9	6
2003	ATL	5	4	100	50	50.0	585	5.9	4	3	69.0	40	255	6.4	1	9	64	4	1
2004	ATL	15	15	321	181	56.4	2313	7.2	14	12	78.1	120	902	7.5	3	46	266	16	7
2005	ATL	15	15	387	214	55.3	2412	6.2	15	13	73.1	102	597	5.9	6	33	201	11	5
2006	ATL	16	16	388	204	52.6	2474	6.4	20	13	75.7	123	1039	8.4	2	45	303	9	3

When he came back into the nfl he did start right away. In his second year back he battled Kevin Kolb for starter but lost. But kolb got hurt in the first game and Vick took over. He proved to the coaching staff why he should remain the starter and he did. this is what his status looks like now.

2009	PHL	12	1	13	6	46.2	86	6.6	1	0	93.8	24	95	4.0	2	0	0	0	0
2010	PHL	12	12	372	233	62.6	3018	8.1	21	6	100.2	100	676	6.8	9	34	210	11	3

Micahel Vick still remained the great player he always was but, he became a better person and better player all around.
