Michael Sam to Cowboys if cut by Rams?

[Reverend Conehead]

In this article, the author argues that it's unlikely Sam will make the Rams' final cut, but that he's a good prospect for the Cowboys. Lard knows we need help on the D line, and Sam is a 4 - 3 DE with a skill set. Of course the fact of his being the first openly gay player has been hyped to death. I'm honestly not worried about that. The one and ONLY thing I care about is if this player can help the Cowboys defense to be better. I would trust the team to not allow this to blow up into a big deal. The truth is every single player on the team has been on a team with a gay player; it's just been with one who kept his mouth shut. Sam isn't going to go about leering at dudes in the locker room. He's a professional. In the off chance he did act in an unprofessional manner, the team can deal with it -- warn him or cut him.

I will say the team should not sign him just to prove how tolerant they are. The priority is to build a winning team, not to be do-gooders. The one and only reason they should consider claiming him off waivers is if he might have the skills we need to make this defense better. Our D line is hurting, especially after the injury to Lawrence. If this guy can make us a better team, sign him. That said, I did not see him play in college. I'm curious as to reactions by those of you who have seen him play.

Of course, if he makes the Rams' roster, there's no issue anyway.

Here's the article about it:

Be thrilled to have him if he helps us get to the QB better than the player he's replacing. We'll see.

 

[AbeBeta]

We are on record as viewing him as a 3-4 olb.

That said I'd love us to sign him as it would drive some folks in this board crazy. #burma

I have no problem with Michael Sam.
I hope he is in the league many years.

Give me Brandon Graham when he is cut at the end of Preseason

 

[DoctorChicken]

If he can rush the passer, I don't care what he does with his manhood, unless it's illegal.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I can't imagine he is any worse than the stiffs we have.

He might not get cut. But I'd offer a late round pick for him.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

If he can't make the Rams final cuts then I don't want him. He's not that good and would just put us under the microscope even more. Something we don't need.......

The Rams have a lot of defensive pass rushing depth. I think Dallas would be smart to evaluate any pass rusher the Rams end up cutting.

 

[Sydla]

Exactly. We are in deep trouble at DE right now. I'd take a chance on Sam.

 

[Hardline]

Dont want no part of him with this team. NONE.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

Didn't we go over this already?

 

[Hoofbite]

He'd be the 2nd or 3rd best pass rusher on this team.

Huh? Get a little education on the Rams D-line depth first. We may have 2-3 guys that would make the cut there.

Couldn't care less about the Rams..Don't want him..

 

[Sydla]

Well we know who the homophobes are.

Why?

Gardner is a better player and he may not make the team. With his injury problem.
