Micheal Sam?

There's not much out there. He can rush the passer as a down lineman (it's what he did in the Rams game). I think Sam could fill in for Foster. I haven't seen any form of media distraction regarding Sam since the day he joined the Cowboys.

Pass rusher are pure gold in the NFL and this guy got cut from a practice squad?

I'm 100% positive that Will Frigging Smith is probably a better pass rusher than this media creation.

Foster: 6'4" 285
Sam: 6'2" 260-ish

Sam gives up 20-30 pounds and 2 inches. Funny thing, too...Foster ran a faster 40 than Sam. Sam ain't big enough to play DE in the 3-4 and too slow to play OLB in the 3-4.

There's a reason he got cut by STL & DAL before November even showed up.

Yeah, Foster is a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT who is not even close to being a competent outside pass rusher at the NFL level

Sam is an 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 DE, also not even close to being a competent outside pass rusher at the NFL level

You beat me to it. Whats it cost to take a look? We need to be taking a LOT of looks. That's plural. More than one.

Heck, they should take a look at ME too! I'm not kidding.

I'm pretty sure our front office is taking a lot of looks.

I'm disappointed that I haven't heard rumors about you though.

Oh there are plenty of those. You're just not hanging with the right people.
