I don't think Carter had much of a chance really even before he got hurt. But I really wanted him to make the team so he can talk about this:
Torontoist: Tall Poppy Interview - Kerry Carter: NFL Running Back, Poet, Entrepreneur, Ladies Man
"My goal is to bring chivalry back to the way we communicate. I feel that it is becoming a lost art. Many people assume, certainly in the NFL, that they have money and nice cars and that’s enough, that they no longer need to use words to seduce. It’s these tangibles that de-values who they are as a person. I want to help people take it to a different level of romance, something that has been missing. I want to bring back to the past. This book is intended to help you lure your woman, to help you find the right one. Observe how a woman reacts to your words, and you will be able to see her true feelings."
