I believe EA would love to have Vick on the cover just for the publicity. In a season where there might no football they need something (like the controversial figure Vick is) to get some attention for Madden. With Vick on the cover they'd be all over the news when the game releases. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd even pay people to publicly protest against the game. From a marketing standpoint Vick on the cover would be very clever. And seriously who wouldn't buy the game just because they don't like the player on the cover (except for some hardcore animal people, but i assume they're not EA's targeted audience anyways).
