Burress, Vick likely to get stiff penalties
Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is leaning toward indefinitely suspending former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress(notes) and continuing to sideline quarterback Michael Vick(notes), three sources with knowledge of the situations have indicated. Such moves would be the latest examples of Goodell’s tough stance on players embroiled in off-field issues as evidenced with the suspension of Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth(notes) earlier this month.
Patriots do not want Vick

As the landscape for Vick’s future takes shape, sources tell me that one team that won’t be interested is the New England Patriots. Many have felt that Vick might be an option in New England, but I’m told that the scheme and the lack of potential to become an eventual starter aren’t suitable to him.
