"Due to this I am going to step far from the diversion right now. I thank the Alouettes for this open door and would like to be back on the field soon. Much thanks to all of you for you're understanding and backing."
Sam won SEC Defensive Player of the Year respects in 2013 at Missouri, and was chosen in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. Sam, 25, was discharged before the begin of the general season.
He joined the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad in September 2014 and was waived a month later.
