What does Vick re-signing mean for Redskins in 2013?


Many football have heard by now that the 32-year old Quarterback is still not done in Philly. He has re-worked his deal with Philadelphia and is still able to make 10 million dollars. I think their new head coach Chip Kelly is off to a good start. It wouldn't have been good to let Vick walk without any attempt to re-sign him. I don't believe Vick wanted to leave Philadelphia in the first place.

We have seen what Nick Foles can do this season. He wasn't too flashy but still remains a potential threat as a Quarterback. Michael Vick could be a great Quarterback in Philly if he just got a better offensive line. I think re-signing Vick eliminates the chances of Philadelphia drafting Geno Smith if he falls to them. The Eagles already have two good Quarterbacks capable of leading a team and they will probably go ahead and draft a Right Tackle with their fist pick.

So what does this mean for Washington? Well it could possibly create better competition for them in 2013. Lets be honest, nobody in Washington felt the Eagles as a potential threat in 2012. I feel like they can be a lot better next year if they improve their offensive line and avoid injury. I still think that the Redskins can make it to the playoffs pretty easily next year, however. Even with Vick, I don't see the Eagles being able to stop the Redskins more than once during the season.

The return of Vick also keeps the door open for a RG3/Vick showdown. I think it would be cool to see these two guys who have changed elements of the game play against each other in a couple of games. Some Redskins fans are probably concerned about this Vick re-signing but I think it will make for another exciting year of intense competition in the NFC East! Hail to the Redskins!
