Reid and management put their eggs in the wrong basket.

They made a HUGE mistake by paying him that huge 100M contract, especially with 40M guaranteed.
1. He simply does not perform to the level to deserve that amount of money. The eagles were the only team to give him a second chance at football, period. He proved he can play, but not that in one years time he should jump up to being one of the highest paid players. He simply is not "that" good. He should be paid like a mid grad QB at best.
2. They should have never did the contract for so long, 5 years??? What if he gets hurt? They way he plays he will be lucky to make it through the rest of this season much less stay active for most of 5. I would have given him a 3 year, 20M at best, with like 5M guaranteed at best.
100M , 40M guaranteed, That's up there with Brady, Manning. Hell Brees has only made 60M the last 6 years and his contract they are renewing now likely wont be that much better than Vicks. How could they pay him so much. unbelievable. He is a good player but no where near worth the money they paid him.
