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.

I'm perplexed.
Just why would this suprise you, of all people.
After all, your writing, and you have yet to reach the level of a second-tier writer

Real Men Wear Black,
Nice grammer.
As for this article, didn't QC get kicked off the team for doing coke not pot? That's what I always heard.

When you say, "Nice grammer" it might be a wise (and far less ironic) thing to do and spell 'grammar' correctly.
