IRVING, Texas (AP) _ Anthony Wright, who started five games at quarterback over the past two seasons, and kicker Tim Seder were among 18 players cut by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Dallas also cut Woody Dantzler, a star quarterback at Clemson who could end up on the five-man practice squad.

With Quincy Carter the unquestioned starting quarterback and Chad Hutchinson set as his backup, Dallas opted to go with Clint Stoerner at No. 3 instead of Wright.

Wright was the first to replace Carter last season and even led the Cowboys to their first victory. He later reaggravated a knee injury he'd had since college and chose to have season-ending surgery.

Owner Jerry Jones acknowledged that letting Wright go this late could hurt his quest for another job. Coach Dave Campo said coaches opted to go with Stoerner as the third-stringer because he can handle the role better than Wright, who still wants to be a starter.

``He can go in with a limited number of reps and be successful,'' Campo said of Stoerner. ``I think Anthony still has a future in this league.''
