Media outlets cited the Rams' deep defensive line as a reason why Samm was cut, and several analysts say the seventh round draft pick has a better shot at playing in Dallas.

Have an oportunity to be. Put on this 53 man roster. But primarily, I like it because I think it's a good situation for him. He'll work on the scout team, and we won't be the main story. He won't be. It's Tony Romo. It's the Dallas Cowboys. A writer for USA Today agrees, mentioning Sam has a legitimate chance in making the team's regular season game rosters. Due to the Cowboys lack of depth and injuries at the defensive position. Sam recorded three sacs and 11 tackles in the preseason with the Rams. He joined the Cowboys in the practice field Wednesday, and will wear number 46.
