Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will sign his exclusive franchise tender on Wednesday, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Vick's franchise tender is worth a projected $15.975 million in guaranteed base salary. By using the "exclusive" tender, Vick would not have been able to negotiate with other teams.
The two sides hope to reach a new long-term agreement once a new collective bargaining agreement is in place.
After replacing an injured Kevin Kolb in a season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers, Vick would go on to start 12 games for the 2010 Eagles, completing 62.6% of his 372 pass attempts for 3,018 yards, 21 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, resulting in a career-high 100.2 passer rating and a fourth Pro Bowl. Vick added 676 yards and a career-high 9 rushing touchdowns in leading the Eagles to an NFC East title.
Vick earned $3.75 million in base salary, and was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2010.
With Vick franchised and headed towards a long-term deal, the Eagles are expected to entertain trade offers for Kolb.
