While Sam was unemployed, the NFL worked to gauge interest in the defensive end, according to football insider Peter King. Sam became the league’s first openly gay player when he was drafted in the seventh round by St. Louis.
“During that time, a league official contacted multiple teams asking if they had evaluated Sam as a probable practice squad player,” King said during Thursday’s broadcast of the season opener between Seattle and Green Bay.

Re: NFL called teams to consider michael sam
I think that's pretty ridiculous. Peter King also writes too much about the guy. I think it would be best and even Sam would like it best if they treated him just like they treat everyone else.

Re: NFL called teams to consider michael sam
a guy who's obviously way overqualified for the practice squad barely getting a look is far more egregious than the NFL making calls on his behalf
