Montreal Alouettes have inked Michael Sam to a 2 year deal
The Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League announced the signing of the openly-gay defensive end on Friday to a two-year deal.
“With the signing of Michael Sam, we have become a better organization today,” Alouettes’ general manager Jim Popp said in a release. “Not only have we added an outstanding football player, we have added even a better person that brings dignity, character, and heart to our team.”
The CFL is getting a good pass rusher, and if he can produce some good stats he will have a great shot to make it back to the NFL. His forty will kill him, but he will get paid well to play in the CFL.
