(CBS4) BOSTON It looks like Doug Flutie's career is over. The New England Patriots quarterback is retiring after a football career that has spanned more than 20 years.

Sources tell CBS4's Steve Burton that Flutie is going to call Bill Belichick Monday morning -- and unless Belichick talks him out of it -- Flutie is leaving the Patriots to join the Broadcast booth. There are already major networks after him.

Flutie started his football career in 1982 at Boston College, and is ending it with the Patriots, 24 years later.

He had two stints with the Patriots, from 1987 until 1989, and then last season.

Flutie also played with the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, and San Diego Chargers in the NFL, and had a tremendous career in the Canadian Football League.

In 1984, he won the Heisman trophy, throwing 27 touchdowns including the miracle in Miami.

Flutie won the Grey Cup in the CFL in 1992, 1996 and 1997, winning the most valuable player in each of them. He is also the only person to win four straight Most Outstanding Player awards in the CFL.

And in the NFL, Flutie won Comeback Player of the Year for the 1998-1999 season while with the Buffalo Bills.

About 10 years too late. haha

He will probably come back. He is already denying these reports.

Although Steve Burton is pretty well known for not reporting anything unless his feet have dried in the cement, so with that being said he is most likely done.
