The Facts:
Still seeking an experienced backup, head coach Jon Gruden said Tuesday he is intrigued by the idea of signing the troubled Carter, a former Cowboys starter who was cut a month before the start of the 2004 season because of reported substance abuse issues. Similar issues were reported as he ended the 2004 season with the Jets. Carter was scheduled to visit team headquarters today.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Along with Carter, the Bucs are looking at veterans Doug Flutie and Jeff Blake. Gruden indicated his preference would be to have a veteran signed before quarterback camp, March 29-31. "There's a lot to learn," Gruden said. "We want to get these guys in here." Gruden would not rule out the possibility of the taking a quarterback with the No. 5 pick overall this April.
