Vick plea deal likely

Federal prosecutors announced at Vick's arraignment last month they will be seeking a superseding indictment before the end of this month. And that indictment includes at least one additional charge under the federal "RICO" statute, both people said. RICO, which stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, targets organized crime and racketeering as well as enterprises affecting interstate commerce.

The prosecutors have given Vick until Friday to decide whether to take a plea deal, the details of which have not been made public. On Monday, a federal grand jury in Richmond will begin hearing new allegations against
Vick.
Vick's attorneys are seeking a deal that limits his prison time and saves his NFL career, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations.
