We might end up seeing Michael Vick on our television screens again sooner than expected, as The Hollywood Reporter says he is currently talking with producers about an unscripted show following his release from prison.

The proposed docu-series would follow Vick starting July 20, the day of his scheduled release from federal custody, and show him trying to "make amends for his past."

Sources said eager producers even visited the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback in prison in the hope of signing him. As a result, there's a few different parties claiming to have his rights, which is confusing the industry playing field.

Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for dogfighting conspiracy. His attorneys did not return a call for comment, though they told a judge this month at a bankruptcy hearing that Vick has agreed to a "television documentary deal" that will pay him $600,000.

That amount is only the tip of what Vick is asking for, however. He wants a high dollar figure for participation in the show, plus really needs the cash; he reportedly owes millions to creditors.

I'm fairly sure this show would draw a massive audience between intrigued NFL fans and animal rights activists. From Vick's perspective it's a brilliant idea; he can make some serious money before setting foot back on the field, and with cameras on him 24/7 he won't have a chance to do something stupid and put his return to the NFL in further jeopardy. However, I'm guessing Animal Planet won't be in on the bidding.
