Flutie Hears From the Bills

Bob Woolf, the agent for Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie, said Wednesday “it’s nice to hear” that the Buffalo Bills might match the offer of the United States Football League’s New Jersey Generals, but that Flutie still is leaning toward signing with the Generals.

Bills Owner Ralph C. Wilson said his National Football League team would match the reported four-year, $5-million offer if it decided to use the top pick in the April 30 draft to take Flutie, according to a report in the Rochester Times-Union.

Flutie had said he would prefer to get an offer from an NFL team before signing any contract. He also said “if the NFL does not make a decision, then mine will be easy.”
