Michael Vick has a place on a minor league football team if he can get reinstated by the NFL. The Albany Firebirds, an arenafootball2 franchise, have offered the 28-year-old quarterback a one-year contract at the league standard: $200 a week plus a $50 bonus for a win.

Arena2. The real arena league got put on hold for now because of the economy, but the good players used to make like 200k in that.

Oh i see, i dont even know what arena2 is. I figured it was a typo . I figured the AFL guys probably made decent money, certainly better than 200 a week.
