Amid reports that the NFL went out of their way to get Michael Sam a job, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insist that the league did not ask him to sign Michael Sam to his roster.
In an interview with 105.3 KRLD-FM on Friday, Jerry Jones had this to say when asked if the league contacted the Cowboys about signing Sam.
“No we were not [contacted],” Jones said.
Jones also explained why the team signed Sam.
“It’s no secret, we need pass-rushers and we need defensive linemen,” Jones said.
