Sam’s league dream still in limbo
DEFENSIVE end Michael Sam’s quest to become the first openly gay player in the National Football League remained in limbo on Sunday after his exit interview with the St Louis Rams.
Both the Rams and national media reported Sam had gone unclaimed off waivers by other league teams before Sunday’s deadline passed.
The former University of Missouri standout now waits to see if any team will sign him to their practice squad, the likeliest route left for Sam to perhaps work his way into the NFL.
Sam, who had announced he was gay in February, failed to make the Rams’ 53-man roster for the 2014 season on Saturday, putting on hold his long cherished dream of playing in the league.
The 24-year-old was one of 22 players cut by the Rams and on Sunday he arrived at Rams Park to have his post-release interview with the team's head coach, Jeff Fisher.
