Michael Sam – Dallas Cowboy?
Michael Sam is headed to Dallas right now — he may be on the Cowboy’s practice squad tomorrow.
Outsports says Sam is “set to join the Dallas Cowboys.”
The Cowboys, by the way, were Sam’s favorite team while he was growing up in Texas.
The Cowboys happen to play the St. Louis Rams in week 3.
Last year the Cowboys had the third-worst pass defense and the worst overall defense in the NFL, allowing over 415 yards per game. They recorded only 34 sacks on the season, and quarterbacks racked up a 96.0 average passer rating against them.
These are not good numbers. Sam can have an immediate impact on the team in the coming weeks.
And these tweets provide support as well:
Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas for a physical Wednesday, per team source. If all goes well, Sam will be a Cowboy.

Dallas D needs all the help it can get. Also, if Jerry Jones can’t sell Johnny Football jerseys, might as well sell Michael Sam jerseys.

To be clear, Dallas would like to sign Michael Sam to practice squad, not active roster. First things first. Physical Wednesday.
