Carter did not practice with team Wednesday

Wednesday, August 4, 2004

Quarterback Quincy Carter will be released from the Dallas Cowboys and an official announcement is expected this afternoon.

Carter, a four-year veteran out of Georgia, did not practice with the team Wednesday.

There was no immediate word as to why the Cowboys planned to cut Carter.

Carter, 26, started all 16 games last season, when the Cowboys went 10-6 and got back in the playoffs in head coach Bill Parcells' first year with the club.

Just last week Carter said he expected to be Dallas' starter when the 2004 season opened.

"I wouldn't say it's an open competition," Carter said last Saturday, after the team's first workout. "I'm clearly the starter right now. ... The team knows who their starter is. I'm going to stand firm on that, and I'm going to be their leader."

You beat me to it, EB....... :tup:

He was just on the news yesterday, talking about how he was the 'starter' and welcomed any challenge to his position.......

 :smug2:
 
That's 2 black QB's that have been BLINDSIDED overnight by America's Team. Is it team policy to let QB's find out they been cut by radio? :goof:
 
Wow

This is some bull@#$%. Why did they do the man like that? Got the man all on ESPN talking abou this is his team and all. There has to be a good explanation for this.

Wasn't it Blake that they had moving his wife and kids down there just to be told he ain't on the team afterwards. :retard:
AMERICA'S TEAM ............... :lmao:
 
It seems Carter was cut either late last night or early this morning. Some speculate Carter was in a substance abuse program and that may be the reason. Whatever the case, I personally don't believe it is a football decision, but a off-da-field decision.

Why would a team let go of their young 10-6 QB that led them to the playoffs last year, knowing they only have an old 41 yr old washed up QB, and two QB that have never taken a snap. I think Quincy may have done something really stupid.
 



You know I think the NFL policy is

1st Offense: You are in the system, but the team doesn't know.
2nd Offense: The team is notified and you have to be admitted to a substance abuse program.
3rd Offense: The team can cut you.

Looks like Dallas simply cut his arse.
 
Cowboys cut Carter after positive cocaine test

Quarterback Quincy Carter is expected to be released by the Dallas Cowboys Wednesday after testing positive for cocaine, league sources told FOX NFL Sunday insider John Czarnecki.

Club owner Jerry Jones confirmed that Carter has been released. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells is expected to hold a regularly scheduled news conference at 11:30 a.m. PT Wednesday at the team's training camp headquarters in Oxnard, Ca.
Carter entered the league in the NFL substance abuse program and this is his second positive test, which by NFL rules would warrant a four-game fine ? not a suspension.

According to an earlier broadcast report, Carter was AWOL from practice Wednesday morning, and the absence is not injury related and the Cowboys will be making an "official" statement regarding Carter after the conclusion of practice. But other broadcast reports have intimated that the Cowboys quarterback will be released, leaving Vinny Testaverde and Drew Henson to battle for the starting position.

Micky Spagnola, the station's Cowboys beat reporter, compared the situation to that of Tony Banks three years ago where Banks was absent from practice and it was announced after practice that he had been cut.

This move comes on the heels of unanimous opinions that Henson has been the best quarterback in camp thus far, which had to be at least mildly upseting to Carter, who started all 16 games for the Cowboys in 2003, leading them to a 10-6 record.

In his first season as the full-time starter - after splitting time the first two seasons - Carter threw for 3,302 yards, but had 21 interceptions and 17 touchdowns. He was intercepted at least twice in six games.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
 
Would this be the second failed drug test? If this is number three, I must say that I did not hear about the other two.

Some others would state that Henson was not necessarily the best. But these are opinions.
