Quarterback Michael Vick had reportedly signed a new endorsement deal with Nike two years after being dropped as an endorser because of his involvement in bankrolling and running a dog fighting ring. Vick has since signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as their third string quarterback.

Nike announced in a statement the reports were not true and that they were prodiving Vick with free clothes and shoes like they do with hundreds of other players.

“Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick. We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
