How do we know that he won't be involved in point shaving or some other sort of illegal gambling activity involving the NFL? The guy is in a world of financial hurt after all. I think Vick needs the NFL a lot more than the NFL needs Vick.
The Wildcat formation is the most overrated thing in the NFL, besides maybe Vick himself. The only time it was ever effective was when the Dolphins crushed the Patriots early last season. Since then it hasn't fooled anybody and the teams that do use it. Only use it for a hand full of plays.

While the common person can come to that conclusion, it's a dangerous game if the NFL starts to try and piece things together based solely on conjecture like that.
While what he did was reprehensible, he deserves a second chance, and so far seems like he might have turned a corner. It doesn't hurt that Tony Dungy is also backing him....
