The answer to this question is mostly likely, Yes. He is still under contract with the Atlanta Falcons and hasn't been banned from playing in the NFL. So, why wouldn't he come back? I'm sure after spending 23 months in prison he will probably need a job when he comes out and some money. He is still young enough to where he can come back and play. It may take a some time for him to get back into shape to play at the NFL level, but I think he could get there in time.
It will be interesting to see if he comes back and if he does where he will go. Will he stay in Atlanta and play back up to Matt Ryan or will Atlanta trade him?
If Atlanta was to keep Vick I think it would be a good thing. Yes, they have a young quarterback that they drafted to come in and be the new face of the franchise, but Vick brings something Matt Ryan doesn't, making play's with his feet. The could do a two quarterback playbook. Mix things up a little. Michael Vick can throw the ball and make plays with his feet so bring him into a game would confuse the defense because they don't know if he is going to run the ball or throw it deep.
But if the Falcons were to trade Vick I could see why they would.
I'm sure the Falcons could get someone of value for Vick. I could see them trading him because they don't want his baggage about the whole dog fighting thing to come back to the franchise when their thing to move forward from that. Also they have a young quarterback in Matt Ryan and maybe they wouldn't want to change the offense to suit Vick and Ryan. Michael Vick has played in the NFL and could give Ryan some pointer, but their two different kinds of quarterback plus Vick hasn't been in the league for two years so I'm not sure how much of a help he would be to Matt Ryan.
Either way it will be interesting to see rather they decide to give Vick another chance or they tell him to take a hike.

Arthur Blank has come out and said Vick should return to the NFL however the Falcons are not interested as they are "happy with their quarterback situation" as it stands right now.
Even if he "returns" to the NFL, the question is will he "play?"
What kind of shape is he in?
