was his name-o...

The good lord works in mysterious ways.
There's still a CFL?He may be good enough for the CFL...I think the Rough Riders need some defensive help.
The pressure will be on for someone to pick him up. The League won't want the negative press.
Man, maybe he was actually evaluated on his football skills and just did not make the cut??? Or????????????
If the part highlighted is the case then that begs the question of why Sam was drafted by the Rams in the first place?Last year, the Colts had a preseason all-star named Caesar Rayford.
He was cut.
Signed with Dallas. He's on their practice team.
But BOY he looked good in preseason...against second and third stringers.
Also keep in mind the Rams are loaded at D-line. A GOOD D-line at that.

Like it or not Jeff Fisher is a professional. Nothing less than a football decision on this one.
This. Not only that, Michael Sam took the cut like a man should and didn't play any cards about it being because of anything else. Not only that, I saw a story in the last week where several players on the team told ESPN and SI to stop asking about it because none of the players cared and it was obvious that ESPN and SI were the only ones that did.
Also, a heck of a lot of folks on here that are afraid of the gay for some reason. You don't have to like them, but they're not going to harm anything. Also a lot of folks that need to go back and reread Matthew 7. Apparently they didn't quite understand what was being said there.

Maybe Sam took the cut like any cut player should, but the timing of his coming out seems dubious. That's just an honest observation. Sam got his shot. He didn't make it. Maybe some other team will pick him up if they think he can contribute to their success. Either way, life goes on beyond the circus.
I think you're saying those people are saying something they're not saying. And I'm not going to claim you're being intellectually dishonest. You may just be parroting the propaganda you hear from people with an agenda, or maybe your imagination can't concoct a scenario other than a sense of fear that could motivate people to reject something you accept.
I'm neither pro-gay nor anti-gay. It's not up to me to condemn or condone what consenting adults do in private. Neither is it up to me to judge the motives of people who do that. But the term "homophobe" is a straw man. Maybe some are prejudiced, some bigots, some just hate people who are different, some simply disagree with or reject the lifestyle because of religious or moral reasons. But none of those reasons logically conclude in a basis of fear. By putting yourself in a place to judge their motives against your own morals, you're in no better footing than those people judging against their own morals, what other consenting adults do in private.
Sam was the SEC defensive player of the year last year and as I recall you don't win that by being Gay.
I think the cut was more about how he would fit with the team not because of his football skills but that is just my opinion.
And what does his draft position say about his skills? Many thought he wouldn't be drafted.
Players lacking skills don't win their conference Defensive Player of the Year award (Sam tied for the award), especially when they play in the SEC.

Most teams cut around 22 good football players today. In some cases, it's not so much about how good the individual is as much as how does he fit with the overall roster. For example, the Colts had to decide if they needed to keep 6 wide receivers or cut one to make room for another player at another position. It's different for every team. If Sam fits another team's scheme, they'll pick him up. If he stays on the practice squad, he'll have to struggle by on $6300 a week!
