Eagles put Vick on exempt list, keep QB Feeley

PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles placed quarterback Michael Vick on the exempt/commissioner's permission list on Saturday and cut 17 players to get to the mandatory 53-man limit.

 

The Vick move allowed Philadelphia to keep A.J. Feeley as their No. 3 quarterback. He has been the subject of trade rumors.

 

Vick will not be reinstated until the third game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. He can't practice with the team until he is placed on the roster.

 

"We can do that at any time," Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said. "We could put him on as soon as tomorrow, or up until the third week. And he can do anything with the team, attend meetings, everything, except practice."

I figured that they would put him on the roster so that he could practice since that's what he needs. I'm a bit surprised by this.

Uhm AJ Feeley was released today. There were a lot of talks of him being traded to the Patriots though so I'd look for them to pick him up.
