Michael Vick’s time with the New York Jets is almost up and his job search will begin in just a few short weeks.  Not only does Vick feel he can be the face of a franchise, he has a pretty good idea of where he wants to go.

Vick is interested in having his own coming home party.  The Virginia Beach, Virginia native said this week that playing for Jay Gruden and Washington could have some appeal despite the massive mess going on with the quarterback position currently.

“I’m open to playing for anybody that wants to win,” Vick said, via Newsday. “But obviously, going back home, I mean, that’ll be a dream come true. But I would hate to get my hopes up for something that wouldn’t happen. So I can’t even think about it right now.”

In the story, Newsday noted that Vick perked up at the mention of doing so, though we can’t imagine a way where this situation would work out.

Vick didn’t exactly flourish as a mentor to a young quarterback this season, and it’s unclear how he could potentially impact someone like Robert Griffin III. He also admittedly didn’t prepare like he should have, citing an unease with being a backup.

But there’s been talk that the Redskins and RG3 may part ways, Colt McCoy is pretty banged up and Kirk Cousins just wasn’t good.

Also with a complete lack of quality starters at the position, Vick could be a hot commodity this offseason, especially if teams continue their ho-hum view of the 2014 quarterback class.
