Cowboys to bring in Sam for a physical

Jints in Carolina : 9/2/2014 4:38 pm
Adam Schefter & #8207;@AdamSchefter 6m
Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas for a physical Wednesday, per team source. If all goes well, Sam will be a Cowboy.

This is one of the first teams I thought of when Sam was waived.

The Cowboys desperately need help in their front seven.
Good for him.  
BLUATHRT : 9/2/2014 4:40 pm : link
But Jerry's motivation likely isn't football related, which is sad for this kid. He's just looking to keep media attention on his team.

No doubt.
I guess air-time on ESPN & NFLN has been down  
Jimmy Googs : 9/2/2014 4:44 pm : link
for the Cowboys as of late. This will give them an extra hour/day at least.

Good news for Sam though...
He appears to be a good player  
Rflairr : 9/2/2014 4:44 pm : link
not a surprise.
I'm not going to say Jones is doing this for the publicity  
robbieballs2003 : 9/2/2014 4:45 pm : link
Because they need defensive linemen. It would be a good fit.
agree with robbie  
GIANTSr01 : 9/2/2014 4:46 pm : link
Cowboys should be interested in any Dlineman with a pulse.

Is deperate ....for D ....this may be good publicity for
dallas
I disagree about Jerruh's motivation.  
81_Great_Dane : 9/2/2014 4:51 pm : link
Michael Sam is exactly the kind of player the Cowboys should be checking out: Very productive defensive lineman in college, cut by an NFL team stacked at his position -- a position where the Cowboys are thin.

Maybe he can play, maybe he can't, but if you're Dallas you have to find out. If he's lousy, you let him go and bring in someone else.
Practice Squad

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Michael Sam is on the verge of having a new home.
According to multiple reports, the rookie defensive end will head to Dallas on Tuesday night to take a physical with the Cowboys on Wednesday.
If he passes the physical, he will reportedly join Dallas’ practice squad.


So I'll go with the publicity angle...

Can't wait to get his hands on him........Get your popcorn ready!!! LMAO and you know you where all thinking this.
How many threads do we need on Sam?  
Carl in CT : 9/2/2014 5:03 pm : link
He wants to be treated equally but yet all this BS on this site only because he is "light in the loafers" and nothing about his football ability. It's good for any player who gets cut an the signed. I'm happy for all kids to keep their dream alive. The madness needs to stop!!!!!
A team that  
ctc in ftmyers : 9/2/2014 5:03 pm : link
has a legitimate need for defense.

Why would they sign him to the 53 till they found out if he's better than what they have?

That wouldn't make sense.

JJ will play it for all it's worth.

If he was such a good player why isn't he on a open day roster or put on the Rams practice team?
I don't know...  
bradshaw44 : 9/2/2014 5:23 pm : link
Dallas D is in pretty bad shape. Jerry may be doing this out of necessity. Although I understand the doubt some may have.
I'd like to wish him well,  
Mad Mike : 9/2/2014 5:28 pm : link
but it's tough if he's a cowboy. Maybe he can make the roster and do some nice things against Philly and Wash, but nothing more please.

Yup...Doing it for publicity. At least Sam may benefit from it

Why cut someone to make room for Sam when you can get a "free" evaluation of him in your system and a day-to-day comparison between him and the other DEs on the roster?

Because the Rams have a young, deep DL so they don't need/want to use a limited PS spot on a developmental prospect.

comes to mind
Their defensive line is pretty bad  
Wuphat : 9/2/2014 6:05 pm : link
He could make the regular team in short order assuming they follow through and sign him.

YES!  
Rocky Thompson : 9/2/2014 7:02 pm : link

let him room with Romo please, as a Jints fan surrounded by Allas fans, I deserve this for the first few weeks anyway...

This will be proof that God loves conservative Catholics, shit, I might even baptize my second child if this happens.

could we stop with the Sam threads now?
Ok happy hour. I'll be the one...  
NYDCBlue : 9/2/2014 7:23 pm : link
I'm sure the cowboys will bring Sam in for a real deep "physical". I'm sure Jerruh can personally show him to all his favorite "glory holes". Just remember, god's watching you from that great hole in the.... ok I will just end this now :-)
Ok I lied

if the Giants signed him  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/2/2014 7:54 pm : link
how many of you guys would be talking about what a class organization we are?

I hate the Cowboys and yea the media aspect of this story can't be ignored. But I won't be cynical about this, pretty cool move by the Cowboys. Their D sucks so might as well give a pass rusher who played well in pre-season a chance.
the Cowboy d-line can't stop the run

You're an idiot.
a lot of smart posts here

Move makes sense to me for the Cowboys

Dallas has gotten good mileage out of George Selvie.  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/3/2014 2:57 am : link
Similar kind of story: Productive college player who didn't appear to have the tools for success in the NFL. Sam might give them some quality snaps too. Seems like a logical pickup for a team hurting at DE. Plus, he's from Texas and has family in the Dallas area.
Carl in Ct is a POS  
David in LA : 9/3/2014 3:04 am : link
Doubt you'd tell him to his face that he's "light in the loafers".
Rocky is a POS too

A POS

Welcome back, Rocky

It's a shame you've decided to not stay too long.

I imagine it's only a matter of time before a mod catches on to your posts and drops the hammer.

Looks like Brett and David

Will be going before me, I'm not the one who personally attacked another poster...
I doubt it

Well,  
Rocky Thompson : 9/3/2014 7:01 am : link
Brett called me an idiot and David called me a POS without me addressing either poster, what's to doubt?
That they're wrong?

That's a grey area, I'll have to check the BBI Bill of Rights and get back to you on if that's a violation or not.
You do that

I don't care about What Michael Sam does  
Rocky Thompson : 9/3/2014 7:20 am : link

In his personal life. Some of my best friends are gay. Let's see, there's, uh..., er....um....no...maybe

I could have gay friends!

I like Elton John

I seriously wouldn't care but when I had to explain to my 9 year old son why a man was kissing another man on national tv during the NFL draft, it was uncomfortable and disturbing. I have enough trouble keeping up with MTV and the Disney Channel, I don't need to see that shit...
More incredible story

Nothing wrong with what you feel as it's your opinion and with an opinion there's no "right" or "wrong." Careful not to escalate you volatile bastid. I don't want to lose you again. It's been way too long..
Yeah, not being a shitty parent and actually taking the time  
Wuphat : 9/3/2014 7:27 am : link
to explain that love for another human being can manifest in many different ways and that no one way is any better than another to kids is tough.

I understand.

BrettNYG10 : 9/3/2014 7:28 am : link
People like Rocky make me wish Eli and Cruz would kiss and grab each other's cocks after a TD.
Of course, I could watch women kissing
