The news continues to get worse for Michael Vick. Not only are the charges possibly mounting, but the rumored plea deal keeps growing. From CNN this morning:
Federal prosecutors have offered a plea deal recommending an 18- to 36-month prison sentence for suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick for his alleged role in a dogfighting operation, but Vick's attorneys are trying to reduce that to less than a year, two sources told CNN on MondayI realize the desire to push for less than a year in jail, Mike probably believes he can play in the NFL next season. It sounds like that's a considerable stretch at this stage. Vick would be well advised to settle soon before these charges mount. So long for Vick's football career, hello a whole new kind of Michael Vick Experience.
Vick's attorneys hope to hear back from National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell's office sometime Monday about Vick's career options before entering into any deal with federal prosecutors, the sources said.
If Vick doesn't accept a deal, he could face additional charges in the case on Monday, when a grand jury convenes in Richmond, Virginia.
