NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- A lawyer for suspended NFL star Michael Vick told a bankruptcy court Thursday that the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback has lined up a $10-an-hour construction job for when he gets out of prison. "You will hear from Mr. Vick his future intentions, how he's going to change the way he lives his life," his lawyer, Michael Blumenthal, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro.An agent for Vick said during court testimony that he hoped Vick could be back in the NFL by September. Joel Segal testified as part of the hearing to assess Vick's bankruptcy plan. If Vick is allowed to return, Segal said he would try to negotiate a one- or two-year contract that would include incentives for playing time and a starting position. As a six-year NFL veteran, Vick would be in line for a veterans' minimum salary of $620,000.
Vick, once one of the NFL's highest-paid players, if not accepted back into the NFL, he plans to work 40 hours a week for $10 an hour at one of W.M. Jordan Co.'s 40 commercial construction jobs, said John Robert Lawson. His father, Robert Lawson, helped start the Newport News company.
