Flutie Flying North again?

As the NFL puts the wraps on another season, there are rumblings that a CFL fan favourite may be returning to three down football to finish off his career. Depending on how things go in San Diego, Doug Flutie may be inclined to cap his season with a couple of years of record chasing in the CFL.

Flutie could end up being demoted to third string status in San Diego or released completely, giving him an option to come North for one final fling. The idea first came alive during the Grey Cup when his brother Darren suggested Doug was inclined to return, at the time Darren was angling for jobs with the Ti-Cats.

However, the latest rumours have Flutie joining the Double Blue in Toronto, which would fold in nicely with the new ownership's plans to increase the Argo profile. Flutie in TO for a couple of years, would give the Argos a marketing bump and provide management time to get their new outdoor stadium up and open.
