Falcons win arbitration allow recovery of Vick bonus money
An arbitrator ruled the Atlanta Falcons can recoup nearly 20 million in bonuses paid to quarterback Michael Vick, who pleaded guilty in a dogfighting case. The decision covers 3.75 million of 7.5 million in 2004 signing bonuses, 13.5 million of 22.5 million in 2005 and 2006 bonuses, and 2.72 million of a 7 million 2007 bonus, with the sum credited to future salary cap space as the team rebuilds. The NFL Players Association plans to appeal the ruling.
