The St. Louis Rams had a middle of the pack defense last season with a pretty decent pass rush. As such, the Rams probably weren't the best team for Michael Sam to try to make as a rookie.
Want a good team? How about Dallas.
The Cowboys were the only team worse than the Vikings on defense in 2013, allowing a whopping 6,645 yards — dead last in the NFL.
As such, news that Sam is set to sign with the Cowboys' practice squad should be good news for the former college standout. That will be a real test of where he stands in the NFL. If he can make it anywhere, it's Dallas.
