Michael Vick doesn't really want to retire yet, but he might not have a choice.
The 35-year-old quarterback, who turns 36 on June 26, has made it clear over the past few months that he definitely wants to play football in 2016.
The big problem for Vick is that, as of right now, no one wants him. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft hasn't really received any offers since becoming a free agent in March.
Despite the lack of interest, Vick isn't ready to give up on his hopes of playing one more season in the NFL.
"I haven't officially retired," Vick told NJ.com on Monday while attending the Ron Jaworski Celebrity Golf Challenge. "As of right now, it's pretty much at a stalemate type of thing. Just taking the days as it comes, but most importantly for me, I just have to continue to work out and train. I would love to play this year, suit up for another run at it. I still feel like I could play and there is a lot left in the tank."
Vick spent the 2015 season with the Steelers, although that almost didn't happen. Pittsburgh didn't sign him until late August, just weeks before the regular season started.
Although Vick wants to play one more year, he's not willing to play for just anyone. The 35-year-old said the situation has to be right.
"It does matter getting the right offer," Vick said. "I don't think at this stage you just jump right out there and then just take any opportunity even though if this is going to be my last year, which is what I feel like I'm leaning toward because of where I'm at in my life, I do want to suit up one more time, I do want to put the helmet on one more time. I don't want it to end the way it ended the last couple years."
Vick likely won't sign with anyone anytime soon because there's a lot of competition for backup quarterbacks. Teams would likely call T.J. Yates, Charlie Whitehurst, Jimmy Clausen or Tarvaris Jackson before they call Vick.
If Vick does get signed by someone, he plans on having a big year.
The former Falcons, Eagles, Jets and Steelers quarterback wants his career to go out with a bang.
"Playing another year is very important just for my psyche, just to get it out of my system, to go out with a bang," Vick said.
Vick is 8-14 as a starting quarterback over the past three seasons.
