FULL TITLE: Michael Sam was dropped by the NFL because 'no one wants the distraction', claims Buffalo Bills star as gay football player tweets upbeat message
Michael Sam is no longer attached to an NFL team and none of them appear to want to pick him up because his sexual orientation causes too much distraction, claims a Buffalo Bills star.
Offensive lineman Eric Wood goes on, more specifically, to blame the media for focusing on the personal life of the NFL's first openly gay draft pick.
'Blame that on espn,' Wood tweeted in response to Sam's inability to find an NFL home. 'No one wants the distraction.'

So the Dallas defense is so bad they are now picking up other teams rejects.
It’s gonna be another long season.
I think the defense they had on the 1987 Replacement Team was better than what they have now.
If there is one team Sam could make, it’s the Cowboys, that’s for sure.
Ah yes ... the 1987 scabs. Very lackluster. But fun to watch! Kind of like if the NFL had a minor league.
