Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Michael Vick is poised to achieve a remarkable off-field feat: the repayment of $20 million in debts to dozens of creditors, according to The Sporting News yesterday. Vick lost millions in salary and endorsements four years ago when he was sent to prison on dog-fighting charges. Although his bankruptcy case is still pending in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Norfolk, Va., it will be settled in the coming months, according to the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. Vick had to restructure his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, which cost him millions. Nonetheless, he stands to make at least $7 million this year as a starting NFL quarterback, and he has also landed an endorsement deal with Nike. The terms of that deal have not been made public. Vick said he felt obligated to repay his debts. "It was one of my goals," he said.
