Vick reportedly is contemplating a plea agreement

Right now, Michael Vick is running out of options. With reports that his two co-defendants are going to now plead guilty by the end of the week and agree to help the government prosecute Vick, Michael's options have pretty much dropped to "Go to jail" and "Go to jail for a very long time."

We all know the government doesn't mess around. When they throw an indictment at you, they mean business. So Vick's chances of squirming away from the charges were already slim to none, and that was when he had his friends with him. Now it is just his word against a lot of other people's, and whatever proof the government has which we still don't know about yet.

Along with Vick's co-defendants pleading guilty, sources close to the investigation are claiming that Vick has until the end of the week to reach a plea agreement before that option is taken off the table, and at least two more indictments are brought against him. If he were to plead guilty now, the government would not be able to charge him for additional crimes.

So, with all this information, it isn't surprising that Michael Vick's lawyers are reportedly having talks with government prosecutors.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on its Web site that attorneys for Vick were in plea negotiations Tuesday afternoon with federal prosecutors. Collins R. Spencer III, a spokesman for Vick's lawyers, declined to comment when reached by the newspaper.

Sources told ESPN's Kelly Naqi that Vick attorneys Larry Woodward and Billy Martin met with federal prosecutor Michael Gill and the investigators on Monday afternoon. At that time, the attorneys planned to speak with the quarterback to see what direction he wants to go in.

At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if anything happens. We'll have to wait and see what Vick is going to do. I find it unlikely that Vick can do anything but reach a plea agreement.
