Money. Vick was still very popular and those jerseys were going to fly off the shelves. There was/is a large portion of the population that had no issue with what Vick did, some even calling it normal. Plus the guy could still play. Kaepernick was never very good even when they went deep into the playoffs.
I should add that Reid had to push pretty hard for Lurie to sign Vick. They did a lot of homework before that deal was made.
