Michael Sam reportedly has found work. It's just not in the NFL.
According to TMZ, Sam will be participating on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Sam, who announced to the world a little more than a year ago that he's gay, is not currently on an NFL roster.
The free-agent defensive end has been out of work since being released by the
Dallas Cowboys from their practice squad last season. Before that, the Rams — who drafted Sam in Round 7 last year — cut him after a three-sack, 11-tackle preseason performance.

Jason Taylor and Warren Sapp finishing second. The show is set to start filming its 20th season on March 16.
