Nike says it does not have a “contractual relationship” with Michael Vick any more. This was stated a day after the quarterback’s agent announced a deal with the manufacturer.
In a statement released early Thursday morning, Nike says it has “agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
On Wednesday, Michael Principe, announced the Philadelphia Eagles player had a new deal with Nike during a panel discussion at the Sports Sponsorship Symposium.
Vick’s agent, Joel Segal, did not immediately call back for comments on Thursday.
Nike, which signed Vick as a rookie in 2001, eliminated his contract in August 2007 after he filed a plea agreement admitting his involvement in a dogfighting ring.
