How much did Michael Vick make before his stupid stunt?
Here is the Atlanta Falcon’s web site information on Vick’s contract, very long answer! Contract details Signed by Falcons to a six-year contract worth $62 million on May 9, 2001. Vick will receive $15.3 million in guaranteed money over the first three years of the deal. An initial signing bonus of $3 million and a base salary of $2 million will give him a cap figure of $2.5 million in 2001. In 2002, his base salary is $2.5 million, followed by $3 million (2003), $3.5 million (2004), $4 million (2005) and $4.5 million (2006). That makes the deal intitally worth $22.5 million over six years. But the team has the option to add two additional years to the contract through March 10, 2002 by paying $8 million. In 2007, his base salary will be $3.4 million and $3.9 million in 2008. This option also reduces each base salary from 2002-06 by $1.6 million, making them $900,000 (2002), $1.4 million (2003), etc. This will allow Vick’s salary cap figures to reduce from $3 million to $2.543 million
