Alouettes release former NFL quarterback Quincy Carter
MONTREAL (AP) -- Former NFL quarterback Quincy Carter was released by the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes on Wednesday, less than a week into training camp.
"This is a joke ... an insult," Carter told the Montreal Gazette.
Montreal coach Don Matthews said Carter's release was based on performance.
"Someone had to go," Matthews said. "He was the obvious choice. He had the lowest grades."
Carter's departure leaves CFL veterans Marcus Brady and Nealon Greene and rookie Scott McBrien to battle for the No. 2 job behind starter Anthony Calvillo.
