Louisville, Kentucky (CaymanMama.com) –  The relationship that once thrived between the Atlanta Falcons and start quarterback Michael Vick is coming to an end.

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff said the team released its contractual rights to Vick on Friday.

“Michael remains suspended by the NFL,” Dimitroff said. “However, in the event NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decides to reinstate Michael, we feel his best opportunity to re-engage his football career would be at another club.”

This move shouldn’t come as a shock to many –Falcons owner Arthur Blank has reportedly said Vick would not return to play for the team.

Goodell refused to commit to reinstating Vick after the the star finishes his 23-month sentence in July for heading a dogfighting ring. He has served time on home confinement in Virginia since leaving federal prison on May 20.

“Our entire organization sincerely hopes that Michael will continue to focus his efforts on making positive changes in his life, and we wish him well in that regard,” Dimitroff said Friday.
