I’m guessing Nike realizes its safe to come out and play – they’ve reunited with QB Michael Vick. The Philadelphia Eagle has signed an endorsement deal with Nike, according to Mike Principe, managing director for BEST, the agency that represents the Eagles Quarterback.  The executives aren’t dumb. Michael Vick’s jersey sold well, #2 behind Brett Favre. I’m happy for the guy. He still owes a considerable amount of money to the league and liens. This will help, I’m sure.

“Mike has had a great relationship with Nike and is excited to be part of the Nike team again,” said Vick’s agent, Joe Segal, who negotiated the Nike deal as well as Vick’s deal to return to the NFL as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick will wear Nike shoes, gear and apparel, as part of the deal. “He has always been a fan of the brand and looks forward to the relationship,” Segal said. Vick had been a Nike endorser before, but the company dropped him in August 2007, after Vick was indicted on federal dogfighting charges.
