Michael Vick visiting with Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are searching for depth at quarterback, and Michael Vick is reportedly on their radar.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Vick was scheduled to visit with the Steelers on Tuesday. The news came shortly after it was announced that Pittsburgh backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski suffered a dislocated finger during a preseason game on Sunday and will require surgery.
Someone from Vick’s camp (take that for what it’s worth) told TMZ that Vick has received offers from multiple teams and is hopeful he will sign with the Steelers.
Vick, who turned 35 in June, was not very effective playing limited snaps with the New York Jets last season. He completed just 52.9 percent of his passes and threw three touchdown passes and two interceptions. He also lost three fumbles and exposed himself to a number of big hits.
Aside from the advice he gave to LeSean McCoy, we haven’t heard much from Vick this offseason. However, we wouldn’t be surprised if a team brought him in as a veteran presence with plenty of starting experience.
