Buck Pierce is a wanted man.

The free agent quarterback is currently being sought by the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions, San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints.

Oh, but that's not all.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are expected to make him an offer within the next 48 hours, a Hamilton Tiger-Cats scout is evaluated him in California and the Montreal Alouettes have also expressed interest.

Pierce was taking part in a pro day set up for players from the University of Hawaii at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.

BC Lions coach Wally Buono called Pierce on Wednesday night to wish him well.

Pierce, 28, was released by the Lions back in March after five seasons with the team.

He had 692 completions for 8,734 passing yards and threw for 48 touchdowns in his career with B.C., adding 1,015 rushing yards and nine touchdowns himself.

The Lions were the only professional team that the California native had ever played for, but that's about to change. It's just a question of where he'll end up.

NFL, CFL teams courting free agent quarterback Buck Pierce

The Saints scouts are at it again. Looking everywhere for possible talent. Anyone have other information on Pierce?

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

Does he want to be a backup? This adds years to a career. Just ask Brunell.

As maybe the only Saints and BC Lions fan we do not want Pierce. Good enough guy but is short, has not enough arm strength, and has concussion and other injury concerns.

You do not get cut in the CFL only to move to the NFL.

Now if we had got Cameron Wake or Stefan Logan from the Lions last year...Those were CFL guys who could make a difference in the League.
