Quincy Carter cut as football team's QB
Comments 0 | Recommend 0ABILENE - Former Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Quincy Carter is out of a job again.
The Abilene Ruff Riders of the Indoor Football League cut the former Georgia Bulldog after he failed to show up for a home game Saturday against the Odessa Roughnecks.
Coach Gerald Dockery tells the Abilene Reporter-News that Carter phoned him four hours before Saturday's game to tell him that he wouldn't play. At halftime, general manager Barney Welch said Carter was no longer on the team.
In 2003, Carter led the Cowboys to a 10-6 season and the playoffs in their first season under coach Bill Parcells. Dallas released Carter in training camp before the next season, and he started briefly for the New York Jets before poor play and drug-related arrests ended his NFL career.
