Michael Sam is flying into Dallas on Tuesday night and will take a physical for the Cowboys on Wednesday, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
If Sam passes his physical, the Cowboys intend to sign him to their practice squad, the source said.
“It’s been a roller coaster this past week but I’m happy where I’m at now,” Sam told MailOnline. “I’m just looking forward to being a Cowboy, my focus is on making the team.”
Sam, who is seeking to become the first openly gay athlete to play in the NFL, was cut by the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.
“It has all happened so quickly, but it’s exciting, I just wanna get back to playing football you know,” Sam said. “I haven’t had chance to speak to any of my family yet, not even my mom, but I will. I never followed the Cowboys growing up because I never had a team. I am a fan of defenses and Dallas need some help, that’s why I’m going.”

I can see the p0rn video now… “Sammy Does Dallas”
🙄
I’ve called them the Dallas Gay Boys for years, so I think it’s a good fit.
SI headline:
“Cowgirl Sam joins the Cheerleading Squad”
Babs, what are you doing weighing in on a thread about gay… oh, wait. Never mind.
I bet he’s riding bare back
I thought he’d be a shoe-in for the Packers.
Everything’s bigger in Texas, so Sam should be happy.
Oh, crap. I thought we’d be done with this. They only want him because he will give them media coverage.
Shit! Nobody in lower Manhattan or San Fran picked him up? There goes the football season.
Now they can be the “Rhinestone Cowboys”?
…society has evolved from “token” Black to
“token” queer!!! we are “progressives”…
Oh great. The Dallas Brokeback Cowboys. I can quit you.
Now Texas actually will have steers AND queers
Brokeback Dallas
RIDE ‘EM COWBOY!
If the Cowboys cut him, the Chiefs want a look, because it takes a Village People to raise a gay baller.
He’ll be switched to playing center.

Romo and Homo,the progressive dynamic duo.
Like I said, Dallas can always suck a little bit more……
Michael Sam – when a hot Cowgirl just won’t do …
Let me guess… AT&T stadium was gonna go with ‘Buttplug Night” to get the gay crowds before St. Louis cut Sam?!
