The Eagle Has Landed

In a move that was largely seen as inevitable, Michael Vick 2.0 is now a Philadelphia Phreak. The Tiiite End Jammers boasted two top QBs, with Vick and Tony Romo on board, but that was one too many. After an injury plagued season from Romo last year, the Jammers knew that Vick had more trade value.

After a round of whirlwind discussions, it was agreed that Ping would send RB Maurice Jones-Drew and a 2011 RD5 pick for Michael Vick and an accompanying RD5 pick. With Vick now in the fold, the Philly Phreaks boast the entire Eagles' aerial attack, as WRs DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are also keepers. The lone running back will be sophomore speedster Jahvid Best, which means the Phreaks are in the market for more durable options entering the draft.

As for the Tiiite End Jammers, they now have Tony Romo back at the helm. With three solid running backs behind him -- Jones-Drew, Rashard Mendenhall, Ryan Grant -- Romo should have a balanced attack. The official Jammers' press release about the trade was a bit harsh on Vick, but the PR department quickly stepped in to say nice things about the ex-dog killer afterwards. The original statement was this: "After using up all of Vick's mojo last season, the Jammers have kicked Vick to the curb and made it Romo's team once again!"

Analysts love the trade for both sides. Having two top QBs in a ten team league was useless for Lei, so getting a franchise running back was a great return. As for the Phreaks, if Vick can stay even seventy five percent healthy, he's got the potential to be the best fantasy player in the land. As part of the Phreaks' recent resurgence, we really like this move.
