The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly want to bring back Chad Henne.

But if that doesn’t happen, they’ll explore their options and will likely display interest in free agent quarterback Michael Vick.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com:

"Among teams interested in Michael Vick, don’t rule out #Jaguars. They want to bring Chad Henne back. But would be in on Vick or Josh McCown"

It’s difficult to tell if Rapoport is simply suggesting that the Jaguars would have interest in Vick (assuming they lost out on Henne) simply because he’s one of the better available free agent quarterbacks or because they actually have legit interest.

Of course, it’s not known if the interest would be mutual from Vick’s standpoint as the veteran is likely looking for the best place to win and start, which may not be Jacksonville at this current moment.

The Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets are all said to have interest in the former Pro Bowl signal caller as well.
