IRON MOUNTAIN -- Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Michael Vick officially became the third highest-paid player in NFL history, signing a six-year, $100 million deal, with $40 million guaranteed.

Vick led the Eagles to the NFC East title last year.  NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci says Vick has to stay in the line-up.

"The question is, will he stay healthy?" asks Mariucci, "because there's no Kevin Kolb anymore; he's going to be starting for Arizona.  They paid him good money, too.  Vince Young will be the back-up, and Vince has had an up and down career, too.  Let's hope Michael Vick stays healthy.  He's playing for a good friends of mine, Andy Reid.  He and I shared an office in Green Bay."

Vick was the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl and was the Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year.

Vick has come back after spending 19 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges.
