Michael Sam Alouettes jerseys already selling
The Montreal Alouettes officially signed Michael Sam on Friday, and fans can already purchase his jersey.
Sam remained in the NFL for all of the 2014, hopping from the St. Louis Rams organization over to the Dallas Cowboys in hopes of sustaining a job.
Nothing looked imminent and Sam never appeared in a game, so when he was told he'd be welcomed in the CFL, he jumped at the chance. Once his "Dancing With the Stars" contract was finished, Sam could finally accept a contract with the Alouettes
General manager Jim Popp spoke of his excitement to have Sam join the team in a statement he made on Friday.
“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,” Popp said.
