Michael Vick agreed to a 10-year contract worth more than $100 million with the Atlanta Falcons that also guarantees the star quarterback an NFL-record $37 million in bonuses, an official close to the negotiations said Thursday.

Vick's contract surpasses the $98 million deal Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning signed in March. Manning was guaranteed $34.5 million in bonuses.......

......The official, who requested anonymity, said Vick reached incentives in his original contract, a six-year, $62 million deal, that would have allowed him to void the 2005 and 2006 seasons next month. Had he done so, the 24-year-old Vick would have become an unrestricted free agent on March 2.

I'm the biggest Vick fan there is, but this is an absoluely terrible long term contract for the Falcons.
