Why? Because there are many players who may be more talented who are not on any NFL roster, practice squad or not. He has the potential to get coached up, become a more versatile athlete and eventually make it to an active roster and even play down the line.

The guy had the heart and courage to come out, share his orientation and face lots of scrutiny, criticism, homophobic backlash, etc. He is resilient which is commendable. Lastly, Dallas is really in no position to be super picky. Their defense suck and did not get too much better before signing Michael Sam. So, having Mike Sam on the practice squad could not hurt. I hope dude gets better and beasts in the league one day. We shall see..
