The Facts:
Flutie is back in the NFL again. But not with the team that appeared likely to sign him only a day ago. Flutie, who won a Heisman Trophy at Boston College and played for the Patriots during a well-traveled professional career, has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with New England, his agent said. On Thursday, he worked out for the Giants, who are now seeking a replacement for No. 2 man Jim Miller after he underwent Wednesday surgery to repair a torn hip labrum.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After Tom Brady, the only other quarterbacks on coach Bill Belichick's depth chart -- three-year veteran Rohan Davey, four-year veteran Chris Redman and rookie Matt Cassel -- have combined for only six regular-season starts. So Flutie, who played the last four seasons in San Diego, certainly provides the Patriots with more insurance behind Brady than the team has enjoyed the last few seasons.
