[quote=""preeths""] Any player who has been cut from two teams in less than half a season and can't stick on a practice squad is a long shot who would need to develop significantly before opening eyes. [/quote]
But...playing against other guys who have been cut from two teams in less than half a season and can't stick on a practice squad should develop them sufficiently, right? Under the expert tutelage of guys who haven't coached in years?
Should Michael Sam sign with a FXFL team
And this isn't to dump on Sam or any of the hundreds of others who are in his position. It isn't easy to make the NFL, and you have to be the best of the best to compete in that league and have the size to do so. I can't blame anyone for having the dream and chasing it until the last door slams shut.
We have to remember, with many guys all the game action and coaching in the world isn't going to push them into that echelon. They're just not going to develop enough to become NFL-caliber. Their bodies don't house the quickness, or have the ability to put on weight without injury, or have the speed, etc. The reasons are almost endless. That doesn't make them terrible; just not among the best of the best. There is no shame in that.

I won't even hazard a guess as to what that means.

[quote=""4th&long""]The cfl is off the american sports media radar... nfl[/quote]
Who give a damn about American sports media, that's for the consumer. I'm willing to bet cash money that NFL teams/scouts pay attention to what goes on in the CFL, and in the end those are the audience players are hoping to catch.

Who gives a damn? Sam, FXFL and potential sponsors.
CFL ties up players for two years. FXFL does not and plays American style ball.
If CFL is interested and Sam is inclined, he may try that, but for 2015 I don't get that vibe.
