the issue isnt their ability to recoup their money at all. plus, they have to split the money gained from merchandising (ie jersey sales) with the rest of the teams in the league. the cowboys are the only team in the league that controls all of their merchandising revenues.
the real problem with the vick contract is that it has the potential to hamstring the falcons in the future. at some point, they will have to face the fact that vicks deal will take up a ridiculous percentage of their money under the cap, and their entire team will suffer.
