In a stunning move that likely pushes 17-year veteran Vinny Testaverde to the top of the team's depth chart, the Dallas Cowboys released Quincy Carter on Wednesday.

Sources told ESPN and ESPN.com that Carter recently failed a drug test. Carter already was in the NFL substance-abuse program, having tested positive for an illegal substance in the past, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. ESPN.com has learned that Carter spent time at a drug rehabilitation facility within the past 18 months.

League sources told ESPN.com that despite the positive test Carter is not under suspension.

This is quite surprising, but I'm sure the drug test played a major role in his release. He led Dallas to a 10-6 record last season and a spot in the playoffs. Carter has shown flashes of greatness in his three seasons in the league, but his uneven play is what has kept him from becoming a major star.
