As we mentioned before, former NFL star Michael Vick was jailed for his role in a vicious dogfight scandal.
The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback then had to file for bankruptcy protection as he claimed he was between $10-50 million in debt.
But good news for the “animal lover”. He’s just been released from federal prison after completing his sentence on the felony dogfighting charges.
For the past two months, Vick has been under home confinement to complete the last part of his sentence. During that time he reportedly worked in construction and helped with youth clubs during his stay at a halfway house program.
Vick now faces three years probation and has a three-year suspended sentence on state dogfight charges.
Sources are also revealing that the former QB is expected to seek reinstatement to the NFL. But according to a statement released by the NFL today, “The review of his status is ongoing.”
As for Vick’s football team, he was dropped last month by the Falcons and is now a free agent. Though with all his time behind jail, we wonder if he’s still as good as he used to be.
But more importantly, do U think he should get a second chance?
