SteveFromYellowstone Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cowboys plan to sign Michael Sam to practice squadBy Marc Sessler Around the NFL Writer Published: Sept. 2, 2014 at 04:49 p.m. Updated: Sept. 2, 2014 at 05:09 p.m. Michael Sam's NFL journey isn't over yet. The Dallas Cowboys plan to bring the free-agent defensive end in for a physical on Wednesday, a team source told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. If the rookie passes, Sam will be added to the team's practice squad. The seventh-round pick of the Rams cleared waivers on Sunday after St. Louis released him during their roster reduction to 53 men. NFL Media columnist Michael Silver reported that coach Jeff Fisher "remains a fan" but the Rams needed practice help at other positions due to injury concerns. The NFL's first openly gay player racked up 2.5 sacks this preseason and led the Rams with six tackles in Thursday night's preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Cowboys spent Tuesday calling their own players to gauge reaction to making Sam a Cowboy. With the Rams out of the picture, Dallas looms as a solid fit for last year's SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year because of the team's 4-3 scheme and a desperate need for help on defense. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000388379/article/cowboys-plan-to-sign-michael-sam-to- practice-squad Jerry seems to love to have his name in the news lately. Saying Jimmy Johnson will never be in the ring of honor, publicly blaming the rest of his organization for making him miss Manziel, and now signing Michael Sam. Not saying it's a bad signing but it just doesn't surprise me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsdomination09 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I wish him luck, but if there is one state I think he'd be best not being in....probly Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkeyBoy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well he's gotten coaching from from GW and Fisher, and now he gets Rod Marinelli as his position coach. If there's any chance to develop strength and pass rush moves, its with that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc Requiem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Honestly it's a good move, The Cowboys Defense is porous. I don't like this move. I prefer when Jerruh makes stupid moves. Ah well, even broken clock is right twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah I am with Darc here, Sam is a decent player that could develop. Seems to have a nose for where the ball is and is going. Who cares what his deal is, I just don't want to see him succeed if Cowboys take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger.Staubach Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 He can't really make the Boys D any worse. We're talking Cowboys so I doubt that he'll bring any more media. Best of luck to the kid. Maybe he can replace one of our drug using, drug-test-missing, assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 A part of me thinks this is a marketing move by Jerruh. Now he's going to get the 24/7 BSPN treatment at Valley Ranch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's a good pick up for the Cowboys. Their Defense sucks! He'll help them, if he gets promoted to the active roster. Their top draft pick hurt his foot and Brent just got suspended. They need all the help they can get. Plus, let them deal with the media circus that will come with signing him.

DeMarco Murray 29 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Happy about this. Why? Because the kid can play football. I could care less what he does outside of the game. If he can help the defense, get a few sacks and generate consistent pass rush, sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If there's any team that could use a specialized pass rusher, it's probably the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If there's any team that could use a specialized pass rusher, it's anybody who plays us twice a year. I fixed that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMenace Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Sams Jersey was the #7 in sales after the draft .......

I think it's been proven there's no real media distraction to be had once the season got underway. He was a fairly similar prospect to Jeffcoat, and he's who I wanted on our PS had we not grabbed Jackson. Maybe he'll have to go the Cam Wake(Almost the exact same Height/Weight/Length) route and do the CFL first while tries to develop an NFL Physique/Technique. Hell Wake didn't even play in the CFL until 2 years after he failed to make it out of camp with the Giants. Way to early to close the book on this kid.

Riggo-toni Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 First Teblows and then Michael Sam - can somebody please explain to me why people believe a man who has never slept with a woman is believed to have some kind of magical football powers?

SkinsFTW Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So he's done nothing whatsoever over his football career so far in your eyes except be gay? Well one of the mediots at ESPN was talking like the Rams were the only team smart enough to pick this future HOFer because he was about to show the entire world so it does appear that he has seriously underachieved.
