How long do you have to be out of prison until Nike re-signs you to an endorsement deal? Apparently, about two years.

That's right, folks, according to Darren Rovell, Nike has re-signed Michael Vick:

CNBC has learned that, in a remarkable move, Nike, which severed Vick’s contract in 2007 after he admitted to his involvement in a dogfighting ring, has re-signed the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.

“Michael acknowledges his past mistakes,”said Nike spokesman Derek Kent. “We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field.” 

Vick’s longtime agent Joel Segal told CNBC that “Michael is excited to have a long-term and strong relationship with Nike.” The deal was done by Chicago-based attorney Andrew Stroth.

 

Financial terms were not released. Vick is already shilling useless energy bracelets, but an endorsement deal from Nike is – shall we say – society's way of validating Vick's redemption. Looks like the Michael Vick experience is back.
