This season hasn't exactly been a memorable one for Michael Vick, but then you could say that about pretty much anybody who's quarterbacked for the New York Jets for the last four decades. Vick's on a one-year deal with New York, and so it's no surprise that he might be looking elsewhere.
At the top of his list? None other than the Washington Redskins.
"That's home," Vick said, while "beaming like a child," according to Newsday. "That's home for me. Don't get me excited. Don't get me excited."
The idea of Vick playing for Daniel Snyder in the chaos that is Washington is sheer perfection. But on an on-field level, Vick might do well from a reunion with his old Philadelphia teammate DeSean Jackson.
"I know his speed, I know his acceleration path, I know when he's coming out of his breaks," Vick said. "There's nobody that knows DeSean Jackson better than me. I think he knows that, and we were just trying to position ourselves to be together again [in New York], but it didn't work out."
There are many steps between today and Vick in a Redskins jersey, certainly. But it's clear Vick believes he can continue to contribute, even as a backup, for a team in 2015, whether or not it's D.C. "I'm open to playing for anybody that wants to win," he said. "But obviously, going back home, I mean, that'll be a dream come true. But I would hate to get my hopes up for something that wouldn't happen."
