I didn't see his games and I'm no expert on his preseason performance but I will say a DE that can sack a QB 10-15 times a season is worth a multi-year multi-million dollar contract. But his lack size does usually limit him to a pass/rush specialist. Dallas had one of the worst defenses in NFL History last year and lost their best 5 defenders so this could be a good situation for him

The title of the article really seems to infer that there is no doubt Sam wasn't signed to the Rams davidpdx Sep 2014 #12
