Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is likely to spend at least one NFL season in prison and at least one more sidelined with a league-mandated suspension, and there has been some speculation that while suspended from the NFL, Vick could play in Canada. But the Canadian Football League says that's not going to happen. Rick Matsumoto of the Toronto Star reports that although CFL officials wouldn't address Vick specifically, they made clear that they do not want to be the outpost for players who are banished from the NFL.
A CFL spokesman reiterated Tuesday that a league rule instituted last spring bans any CFL team from signing a player under suspension in another league. That rule came about when the Toronto Argonauts signed Ricky Williams, who was suspended by the NFL for repeated violations of the league's substance-abuse policy.
So Vick's options, assuming he is suspended for at least a full season after he gets out of prison, will be limited. His best bet may be the UFL, the startup league that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and a few other billionaires have said they plan to form next year. That's assuming the UFL calculates that the publicity it gets from Vick is worth the boycotts and protests -- far from a safe assumption. Vick might never play organized football again.
