UPDATE: Michael Sam has now officially signed with the Dallas Cowboys and will join the team's practice squad.
Football heads are now saying that this will be a great opportunity for Sam to work his way up and join the team's 53 member roster as a regular player.
Sam was cut from the Rams because the team was jammed pack with defensive ends already and he couldn't be as good or better than them.
But it now appears that Sam has found a home with the Dallas Cowboys and we'll see what the future holds for him.
ORIGINAL POST: USA TODAY sports is reporting that Michael Sam is going to actually have a career in the NFL by joining the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad.
Michael Sam, the first openly gay football player drafted by the NFL, was dumped by the St Louis Rams and was not included into its practice brigade. All other teams basically passed on Sam with the claim that his gayness will lead to unwanted "media distractions" (aka no homos please).
According to the source with the inside scoop Sam is at the Cowboys facilities taking a physical and is poised to join the team's 10 member practice squad for the season.
Some say that being in the practice squad can lead to a player becoming part of a roster if he's good enough.
Still I am not holding my breath, read this to know why.
