"As the Rams continue to be linked to Michael Vick in various reports, it was interesting to hear St. Louis head coach Steve Spangnuolo opt to even dicuss Vick as he made the rounds as the Super Bowl on Friday.

"I've got a lot of respect for Michael as a player," the former Eagles linebackers coach told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Everything I've heard out of Philadelphia is kind of good. We haven't gone down that road in our process yet. I think he's a terrific player."

Earlier this week, Bernie Miklasz wrote that Rams assistant coaches were calling their counterparts with the Eagles to get more information about Vick. Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is also a former Eagles assistant.

Clearly, they are interested. The question is as what price and whether the Eagles will pay Vick's roster bonus early next month and then try to trade him before the draft or will simply let him go.

Asked if there was a deadline to determine their 2010 quarterback plans, Spagnuolo said, "that may direct itself depending on things that happen. And we know what we're all talking about.""
