Can Sam be cut?

The Federalist looks at a reason why teams might have passed on Michael Sam - fear of how it would look if he's not good enough for the 53-man squad.
This is the real thing the NFL is concerned about: as a seventh round tweener DE/LB, the odds don’t favor a long career for Sam. Maybe he’ll beat those odds, and the league would love it if he does. If he has a long and productive career, the league office would be overjoyed as will most fans. But this unnamed team is acknowledging that this cuts both ways, and they fear that whether he succeeds or fails, Sam will not be viewed as an individual player, and instead as a representative of a class, and that the team that cuts him will be accused of bias or homophobia or worse.
The Rams are a safe place for Sam to land - not a contender and close to his college. Eventually, his play will have to be the story.
