Report: Sam received 'special treatment' while with Alouettes
The Michael Sam chronicles could reach their final chapter with the Montreal Alouettes.
On Friday, Dider Ormejuste of RDS reported that Sam has received "special treatments," and has a "bad attitude towards teammates."
The feeling within the organization is that many want the pass-rusher gone.
The defensive lineman was irrelevant in his CFL debut last week against the Ottawa RedBlacks and was subsequently placed on the one-game injured list, leaving him off the slate for the Week 7 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos Thursday night.
While just one game is a small sample size to truly determine whether his game is unfit for the CFL, his $100,000 salary could be the reason many players feel angst towards the 2013 SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
Every Alouettes player, whether scratched or injured, appeared on the sidelines for the club Thursday except Sam, Ormejuste reported.
Head coach Tom Higgins, unbeknownst of where Sam was, maintained it wasn't pressing.
"It’s not an issue," he told Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette.
