Flutie back to the CFL???

Hamilton Tiger-Cats: At least one CFL team is interested in quarterback Doug Flutie.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats general manager Ron Lancaster told radio station CHML on Thursday that the team plans to contact Flutie's agent next week. Flutie was released last week by the NFL's San Diego Chargers.

The 42-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner had an eight-year stint in the CFL and won the league's outstanding player award an unprecedented six times. He played for Chicago, New England, Buffalo and San Diego in the NFL.

His agent said last week that Flutie wants to play for at least another season, but would explore all NFL options first.

There have been persistent reports that if Flutie returned to the CFL, his brother, Darren, might come out of retirement.

But Darren Flutie told the station he doesn't think a CFL return is likely, adding he has a good job in Boston and has re-signed to be a CBC broadcaster this season.

"I saw an article that actually mentioned that we may be coming to Hamilton and playing," he told the station. "It's the farthest thing from the truth at this point."

Heard a nice bit of trivia today on the radio.

After the Panthers released their punter, who was the last USFL player in the NFL? It's Doug Flutie of course!

Hard to believe one of those fellas in that league is still playing, but when Flutie is gone, that's the last link to the USFL.
