GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Now that the Packers aren't on the "Forget it" list for quarterback Michael Vick, Green Bay cornerback Charles Woodson says he would have no problem welcoming the controversial player to his team.
"If he were to come here, we're all grown men, and we would have to accept him as a teammate, if that were the case," Woodson said Tuesday night before the Packers' scrimmage at Ray Nitschke Field. "To have him, that's another weapon. We understand that.
"We know that people have their dislike toward Vick. We understand that. But at the same time, he's a man. Men make mistakes. To have him here -- I don't want to speak for anybody, but I would welcome him.
"I'm trying to win a championship. So what anybody says outside of [this team], I don't care anything about that."
Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday he would not rule out Vick in a Packers' uniform, a departure from the norm around the NFL. Most teams have emphatically said they would not even consider Vick as a free-agent addition, much less sign him.
