At this point, the Carolina Panthers aren't a potential destination for Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn.
According to the Charlotte Observer, there hasn't been any interest on the Panthers' part.
Quinn is on the trading block.
Now that the Cleveland Browns have signed Jake Delhomme, traded for Seneca Wallace and cut Derek Anderson in remaking their quarterback situation, there's no room for Quinn.
As the report notes, Quinn has connections in Cleveland.
He played for quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer as a rookie.
And his head coach, John Fox, is friends with Charlie Weis, who coached Quinn at Notre Dame.
Until Quinn is released, which seems to be the most likely scenario, there's unlikely to be a lot of interest around the league since no one wants to assume his contract.
The Panthers probably aren't the only closed door.

Are you kidding me?
Quinn has one of the friendliest contracts of any quarterback in the league. You can pick up Quinn for peanuts and he's a lot better than some of the starters in this league right now.
There are at least 4-5 teams who have inquired about him already.
Heh really? Name me some starters who are worse than Quinn. (And no, Jamarcus doesn't count. My retired high-school English teacher could outplay him.) Backup material at best.
If Quinn's so all-fired great, why are the Cards and Seahawks so interested in a third-string QB who's never started a game in his life (Charlie Whitehurst)? You'd think they'd be pounding down Cleveland's door for Quinn.
Nope, not buying it.
