Rams cut Michael Sam
In trimming the roster down to 53, the Rams cut Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL.
Fantasy Impact
Though Michael Sam has no fantasy value outside of IDP leagues, he and the St. Louis Rams have proven that his participation need not be a distraction if the parties (including the media) don't make it a distraction. Here's hoping that not only does Michael Sam make a roster this year (or the Rams' practice squad) but that he has also opened a door for other young, openly gay men who have the talent to become football players and stars and future bonafide fantasy options.
