RICHMOND, Va. Suspended NFL star Michael Vick would keep one vehicle, one home and a large assortment of furniture and personal items if his creditors and the judge who rejected his previous bankruptcy plan approve a revised one filed Thursday.
The new plan also gives creditors a bigger cut of his future earnings but would still leave enough for Vick to live comfortably if he is able to resume his once-lucrative NFL career.
It would give Vick incentive to return to the NFL and take responsibility to pay his taxes and expenses, Vick's lawyers wrote in papers filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News. Thursday was the deadline for filing the plan.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro has scheduled a hearing on the new proposal for July 31. Santoro in April dismissed Vick's first plan as unworkable and ordered a new one.

CAROLINA: The Panthers claimed rookie tight end Andrew Davie off the waiver wire Thursday. Davie was recently cut by the Jets, who had signed him as an undrafted free agent in April.
Davie, a former Arkansas player, caught 24 passes for 199 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons for the Razorbacks.
Davie figures to just be help in training camp, since the Panthers already have three tight ends ( Jeff King, Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge) under contract. David Scott
NEW YORK JETS: The NFL suspended linebacker Calvin Pace for four games without pay for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Pace said the ban is a result of him taking an over-the-counter dietary supplement that he was unaware violated the NFL's policy. AP
