Micheal Vick Deal: Quarterback Re-Signs With Eagles (VIDEO)

The Philadelphia Eagles and Michael Vick have re-signed a one-year deal for the 2013 football season, according to ESPN. Vick could make up to $10 million next season with the new contract in play, the report said.

The new contract reportedly replaces Vick's previous 6-year $100 million contact which was signed in 2011 and the quarterback is now scheduled to be a free agent after the 2013 season.

In his first meeting with media following his opening news conference last month, Eagles' new head coach Chip Kelly said he was attracted to Vick as a competitor.

"He wanted to be here," ESPN reported Kelly said.

In a statement obtained by ESPN, Vick stated he was "grateful and proud" to be with the Eagles.

"My heart is in Philly and this community is important to me," Vick said in the ESPN-obtained statement. "I look forward to playing for Coach Kelly, [owner] Jeffrey Lurie and the entire Eagles organization, the city of Philadelphia and the fans. I am training hard this offseason and will be ready for Coach Kelly's team vision and leadership. Our goal is to win."

Vick, who turns 33 on June 26, ended the last season injured. In 10 games last season, he passed for 2,362 yards, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

In 2007 Vick was embattled in an interstate dogfighting scandal that led to his imprisonment for 548 days in Leavenworth, Kans.
