that's a bit off-base. He said Sam was definitely capable playing in the NFL.

It was a cut based on simple numbers...the Rams have a strong D-line group (pretty much the only thing they have going for them) and with limited roster spots he had to go with the guy who could play on special teams for a 9th defensive lineman. That far down the depth chart, those are the only snaps of game-action a player is likely to see. If nobody else signs him, he will certainly be getting a spot on the practice squad and a chance to play/practice his way onto the roster as a mid-season injury-replacement.
