EDIT: According to Wiki (the quickest place to dig up the info) On Dec 23, 2004 Vick signed a 10 year contract and the signing bonus was $37 million.
Depending upon how the pro-ration works, I'm guessing the Falcons can ask for around 80% of the signing bonus back. That is $29.6 million dollars.

The biggest problem for the Falcons is even if they get some of the signing bonus back, he's still going to remain as a salary cap hit for a number of years.
Vick has double tapped the falcons in the head.
