Quincy Carter Could Get NFL Tryout

I find this hard to believe, but Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com reports (Insider) that former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter -- last seen getting suspended from a second-tier Arena League team -- could get an NFL tryout this summer.

To review, Carter was a surprise draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2001, he became their starter as a rookie and actually played OK, started the whole year in 2003 and even quarterbacked the Cowboys in a playoff game, then got cut in 2004 after testing positive for marijuana. He's had brief stints with the Jets, the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL and Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings of af2.

So why would any team give Carter a tryout? Who knows? It sounds like a long shot, but it might make for an interesting preseason game if he's actually on a roster, and I'll take anything that adds interest to the preseason.
