Sirius NFL's "Moving the Chains" was broadcast live from Gillette Stadium today, and Robert Kraft sat down with hosts Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan.

Kraft was asked about Michael Vick, and Sirius has provided the transcript of what the owner said:

Tim Ryan: "With all the baggage that could come with him - and whether it is just or unjust in terms of maybe some of the things that are going to go down if and when he gets on a football team - is Mike Vick an owner's call or is that a coach's call, whether you're going to put him on your roster or not?"

Bob Kraft: "Well, I think each situation would probably be unique and I can't speak about how things work in other areas or [on] other teams. This is a complicated one. I would think that most owners would want to have some kind of input into the decision, at least, I wouldn't do it from a football end but just understanding everything. But for us, that's an academic problem because we've got the #1 player at that [QB] position in the world as far as I'm concerned and why would we ever want to do anything that would take him off the field for one play?"
