Mike Vick is still a free agent.
The 35-year-old quarterback has said he wants to play three more years in the NFL. That's possible. He's also said that he wants to start. That's not likely.
Vick is a proven veteran that would be a good backup for several NFL teams, but the chances of him signing on to start with a team are slim.
"(I'm) a proven winner," Vick said during an appearance on NFL Network last month, via CBS Sports. "I think that I've done a lot throughout the course of my career.
"I've proved that I can win games and play with some consistency and be a leader. I think those are the qualities that you want in a quarterback."
Until he gets a call, he's been working out on his own.

Patriots worked out Brady Quinn, sparking Ryan Mallett trade rumors
Brady Quinn, who will soon begin working as a football analyst for FOX Sports, worked out for the New England Patriots last week, per ESPN's Field Yates. Quinn then went on the The Dan Patrick Show to discuss the workout and the possibility of returning to the NFL.
"It went well," Quinn said, via ProFootballTalk.com. "In this particular situation, though, they need something to happen in order for me to possibly be there."
It is unclear what that "something" is that would need to happen, but that hasn't stopped anyone from speculating. The Patriots, who drafted Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round of the draft in May, may plan to trade Ryan Mallett, the team's No. 2 QB.
Mallett was drafted by the team in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft and has received plenty of buzz this offseason. Most notably, NFL Network's Mike Mayock recently said he was blown away by Mallet at practice, noting that he is "a legitimate NFL starting quarterback."
It's not hard to connect the dots and speculate that New England may be planning to shop Mallet and sign Quinn, giving them a QB trio of Tom Brady, Garoppolo, and Quinn. All of that, however, is mere speculation.
A more realistic scenario is that New England is preparing for any mid-season injuries that may happen this fall. Teams often workout players with the intention of potentially signing them down the road in case of an injury. That may be the "something" Quinn was referring to.
Quinn, who spent time in Denver from 2010-11, will now play the waiting game.

Buzz: Broncos' John Elway praises Champ Bailey, who signs with Saints
Former Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey signed a two-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Friday. The contract has a max value of $7 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowler who owns 52 career interceptions, saw his performance decline over the past two seasons in Denver. After Bailey limped through an injury-riddled 2013 campaign, the Broncos parted ways with the 35-year-old cornerback last month.
“Without question, he’s among the best cornerbacks to ever play the game and one of the finest players in the history of the Broncos. You couldn’t ask for more in a player than what Champ brought to this team. His combination of elite talent, class, leadership and competitiveness made him one of the all-time greats," Broncos general manager John Elway said of Bailey after the team released him on March 6.
Bailey's contract had him on the books to earn a base salary of $9 million in 2014. After leaving Denver and signing with New Orleans, Bailey will likely make less than $7 million over the next two seasons.
