Doug Flutie Booth Career? If I decide to retire, probably broadcasting" would be his next venture, said Flutie, who lives in nearby Natick and has said he wouldn't leave the area to play for another team. "I'm not crazy about coaching. I've seen that job. I don't like it."
On April 30, the last day of the NFL draft, Belichick declined to talk about Flutie's future, saying, "You'd have to talk to Doug about what Doug's future is."
Flutie said he and Belichick talk on a regular basis.
"We let (the subject) go for a while," he said. "Now, I'll just sit back and make a decision soon."
Flutie played sparingly in five games last season and completed 5 of 10 passes for 29 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. After winning the Heisman, he played in the U.S. Football League, the Canadian Football League and with Buffalo, Chicago, San Diego and New England in the NFL.
Flutie has played 12 of his 21 seasons in the NFL. He started his pro career with one season with New Jersey of the USFL in 1985. He won the Most Outstanding Player award in six of his eight seasons in the CFL, where he also won three Grey Cup championships.
He has thrown for 14,715 yards and 68 touchdowns in the NFL, spending most of his time as a backup. Last season, he converted the league's first drop-kick for an extra point since the 1941 title game. "If that ends up being my last play, it wouldn't be bad," he said at the time.
