The Rams have released Michael Sam.

One of their last cuts. Hopefully he catches on with another team, or goes on Practice squad

I can say this: The team that picks this guy up and gives him playing time will get the absolute steal of the 2014 draft. I guaran-damn-tee it.

That if no other team picks him up, he could still end up with the Rams

I've seen that same thing happen many times with my own favorite team (NE)

He neither cleared waivers and met with the Rams coach.

I'd think he'll be back on the Rams practice squad.

(I do think he'd make a GREAT Steeler, but I don't know if the fans would accept him. There's a reason parts of Western PA are called "Pennsyltucky&quot
