Tuiasosopo to Carolina?

I wonder if the Dolphins are going to abandon trying to get Trent Green. From what I have read (somewhere) Miami and KC were in serious negotiations. Don't forget Minnesota needing a QB. Heck I'd throw a 3rd for Carr if that would make it happen

 

I don't think they'd do it (and I'd hate the controversy too, but I don't think it'd make Jake's life "hell").
I do agree that at this point Carr needs some time to regroup, get coached into a good situation, and get back out there. Have someone teach him to release the damn ball in a timely manner.

 

At present, Carr is cheaper than Green. Miami may be using Carr in an effort to get Green to take a pay cut, but in either case what's that say about Culpepper's knee?

Culpepper's knee isn't the only problem, his ability has become questionable of late as well.

Memo to the David Carr Fan Club:

Don’t get your hopes too high on the possibility of Carr landing with the Panthers. Yeah, the Houston quarterback is on the trading block right now. But don’t look for the Panthers, or any other team, to want to give up very much for a guy that didn’t have much success in five seasons with the Texans and still is carrying two years of a big contract.

Unless there’s a trade where Carr agrees to re-work his contract significantly, there probably won’t be a trade. A source close to Carr said it’s more likely the Texans simply will release the quarterback in a few days.

That same source says Carolina’s not real high on Carr’s wish list because the presence of Jake Delhomme means the Panthers already have a starter in place. Carr, who played behind a brutal offensive line in Houston, is eyeing Minnesota, where the offensive line is very good and he’d have a chance to start right away.

Oakland is next on Carr’s list because the job is open and Carr and new Raiders coach Lane Kiffin once roomed together while Carr was in college at Fresno State and Kiffin was a graduate assistant.

What all this means is the Panthers likely will continue to play the waiting game as the quarterback carousel plays out. Marques Tuiasosopo, who visited the Panthers but wasn’t a prime target, landed with the Jets for a one-year, minimum-salary contract Thursday. Joey Harrington is still on the radar. But there could be more pieces to this puzzle. Guys like Carr and Trent Green are going to land somewhere and there will be a trickle-down effect that could free up Carolina’s next backup quarterback.

Still on the Market

Drew Bledsoe-retire, please. he's as mobile as Mills' statue
Todd Bouman-with his past legal issues, not even on the Panthers radar
Aaron Brooks-uh, no thanks
Lang Campbell-who?
Koy Detmer-as the very last option
Joey Harrington-he's rumored headed to the Great White North
Shane Matthews-this guy's still in the league?
Tim Rattay-good potential in the right offense, we don't use that one though
Vinnie Testeverde-Methusila
Chris Weinke-don't think so
Anthony Wright-rumored as Vick's new backup

Tendered RFA
Jim Sorgi (6th)-we have Basanez already, why bother?
Quinn Gray (2nd)-a 2nd? you have to be shittin' me
Cleo Lemon (2nd)-see above
Brian St Pierre (5th)-don't see it at all

If we're looking to fill a roster spot, there's a body out there. If we're looking for some one that can step in and perform in case Jake goes down again, we need to get a move on.

 

I think Baz has the #2 spot and we'll look at a guy like St. Pierre as a #3...and I am OK with that!
