Michael Vick won't play for Fan Controlled Football, says he's staying retired

Michael Vick is going to stay retired.

The former NFL quarterback was going to return to the football field to play in the Fan Controlled Football league, according to a Reuters report, but the 41-year-old tweeted Sunday that he's going to stay on the sidelines.

"I hung 'em up in 2015 never to return again," Vick tweeted Sunday. "Had an amazing time and accomplished so much. I say that to say, they're going to stay hung up and I will not be coming out of retirement."

Fan Controlled Football is an eight-team league that plays seven regular-season games and its playoffs at a single indoor, 50-yard field in Atlanta.
