 On July 7 , 2008 , Vick sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News after failing to " work out consensual resolutions with each of his creditors , " according to court papers . The initial filing , which was incomplete , listed assets of less than $ 50 million and debts of between $ 10 million and $ 50 million . The seven largest creditors without collateral backing their claims were owed a total of $ 12 @.@ 8 million . The three biggest unsecured creditors were Joel Enterprises Inc . , owed $ 4 @.@ 5 million for breach of contract ; Atlanta Falcons , owed $ 3 @.@ 75 million for a pro @-@ rated signing bonus ; and Royal Bank of Canada , owed $ 2 @.@ 5 million in loans .

 In April 2007 , Vick was implicated in an illegal interstate dog fighting ring that had operated on his property for five years . A federal judge noted that he had promoted , funded , and facilitated a dog fighting ring on his property , and had engaged in hanging and drowning dogs who did not perform well . He also had failed to cooperate fully with police . In August 2007 , Vick pleaded guilty to federal felony charges and served 21 months in prison , followed by two months in home confinement . Hurt financially by the loss of his NFL salary and product endorsement deals , combined with previous financial mismanagement , Vick filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2008 . Falcons owner Arthur Blank did not want Vick on his team , so the team released Vick after failing to trade him . He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles and was reinstated in Week 3 of the 2009 season .

 Vick signed a one @-@ year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on August 13 , 2009 . The contract was worth $ 1 @.@ 6 million , with no money guaranteed . It contained a team option for the 2010 season worth $ 5 million . Vick was allowed to participate in all team practices and meetings as well as the Eagles ' last two preseason games . He was eligible to play in the third week of the regular season . Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb told reporters he gave coach Andy Reid the idea to sign Vick .

 As it turned out , a blockbuster trade was agreed in principle before the 2008 – 09 campaign : six @-@ time All @-@ Star Jermaine O 'Neal was acquired from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Ford ( who had become expendable with the emergence of Calderón ) , Rasho Nesterović , Maceo Baston , and Roy Hibbert , the 17th pick in the 2008 NBA draft , giving the Raptors a potential boost in the frontcourt . Meanwhile , Bargnani , who had spent the summer working on his interior game , was projected to come off the bench . The Raptors also introduced a black alternate road jersey for the season similar to the earlier purple design that was dropped a few seasons ago . It had a maple leaf featured on the back neck of the jersey , symbolizing the Raptors as " Canada 's team " . Despite the introduction of O 'Neal , who brought home the rebounds and the blocks , and a much improved Bargnani , the Raptors were too inconsistent . Following an 8 – 9 start to the season , Mitchell was fired and replaced by long @-@ time assistant Jay Triano . Triano tweaked with the starting line @-@ up to no avail as the Raptors fell to 21 – 34 prior to the All @-@ Star break . O 'Neal and Moon were then traded to Miami for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks , but with the losses mounting , the Raptors soon fell out of the playoffs picture , and were eliminated from contention with seven games of the regular season remaining . The Raptors eventually finished with a 33 – 49 record and headed into the next season with a potential overhaul of the core : Marion could become a free agent ; Bosh could become one after 2009 – 10 ; Parker would soon turn 35 ; and Bargnani had his breakthrough season . On May 12 , 2009 , Triano was given a three @-@ year term for the position of head coach .
