Here's a snippet from a Wikipedia on Michael Vick (aka the dog-killer):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Vick#Suspension

In February 2009, the Falcons revealed that they were exploring trading Vick to another NFL team. Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff said NFL rules allowed teams to trade the contractual rights to suspended players. The Falcons released Vick in early June, however, making him an unrestricted free agent.

I think Washington has more to offer on the field at this time than Vick did personally and that is not to say Vick did not have something to offer. Washington is good enough that some might be willing to trade for him, but I just can't see the Cardinals being a legitimate place for him any longer with the way he has let the organization and most of all his teammates down. I would try and trade him personally... he is good enough that a team might not want to wait for him to be cut and partake in a bidding war of Washington's choice :)

There are no stupid questions only stupid answers.

But, in the end, I can't see more than a 7th for a guy who is out 16 games and more to be added on the assault charge.

And risk - 'fool me thrice'.

Highly doubt BASK and Mike Bidwill are on side.

but should he "fool us thrice", he costs us nothing. We only pay if he plays. Not like he's Levi Brown. Where he costs us $ AND makes us worse. Only way Wash costs us $ is if he plays, and if he plays he's worth the $

How many chances does he get from this team Brandon? Reports are from the NFLN he supposedly has 4 strikes...3 for drugs & 1 for PEDs. Keeping him on basically holds the team hostage, which I'm not sure is gonna happen.

strike 2 - with violence to his GF, God doesn't make junk, DWASH is n the middle of an intervention, too many glass houses to start chucking stones about.

PIGPEN had less for rape with the help of his security.

CARDINAL UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A FAN!

I said before, I totally understand if they do get rid of him. I just sincerely hope they don't. I've got no logical explanation, just a feeling. So I've got no good reason to listen, just hope that they do

The $$$ can be worked out, but, I doubt, the trust factor can.

He is a great player. No doubt about that. But I also think he's a good person. Not like I grew up with the guy or anything but in the short time I had to talk to the guy. He really struck me as a good person. He messed up big. And there's nothing I can or he can say that can make that any better. And there's no argument that can be made in favor of keeping him that isn't already known.i know I'm in the minority, but I do want him to stay here

We'll it's not in our hands.

The trust that has been broken is with BASK and Mike Bidwill.

If they can overcome this, I'm fine with their decision.

Agreed. Like I said, I understand if his time here is at an end. I just hope that isn't the case

I agree right with you.

People thought OJ was a good person. Hell, he was BELOVED by everyone. Now, that's not saying Washington killed anyone, but we do know he completely screwed over the team multiple times, was incredibly selfish AND has been found guilty of domestic violence. None of that sounds like a good person to me. And if he was on any other team, I'm pretty dubious that you'd continue to think he was a good person.

GREAT football. Bad person in my book.

Basically what I'm saying is that as far as him seeming like a good guy in the short time you talked to him that looks can be deceiving.

There is also someone to say something kind about the axe murderer next door.

'i'm shocked. He was so kind and polite and always petted my dog' (lol)
