49ers aren't interested in signing Vick
Quote:
Darren Sabedra of the San Jose Mercury News reports Michael Vick will not be wearing a 49ers uniform this season.
General Manager Scot McCloughan made that clear Monday, telling Sirius NFL Radio that "we're not going to go that route." It was the team's most definitive response to date about the quarterback who is serving a 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting operation.
McCloughan said he and Coach Mike Singletary discussed the idea of bringing Vick aboard last week but decided against it.
As recently as late last month, Singletary was non-committal when asked about the Atlanta quarterback.
"That's something, going forward, you just never know," Singletary said at the time. "I don't want to say absolutely not, because I'm not there. But I'm certainly not going to say yes."
With Vick officially off the radar, the 49ers almost certainly will begin training camp next month with Shaun Hill and Alex Smith competing for the quarterback job.
