NFL Notes: Michael Sam, Bills, Browns, Cowboys, Packers, Vikings

 

Michael Sam

• Maggie Hendricks mentions the Bears, Panthers and Lions as three teams that could have some interest in rookie DE Michael Sam.

Bills

• Bills signed CB Rod Sweeting to their practice squad and cut WR Naaman Roosevelt. (Aaron Wilson)
• Bills worked out former Jets CB Brandon Smith Tuesday. (Aaron Wilson)

Browns

• GM Ray Farmer said that if he could do it again he would still choose QB Johnny Manziel with a first round pick, as he views him as an NFL starter. (Aditi Kinkhabwala) 
• Farmer also mentioned that he’s not interested in signing veteran WR/KR Josh Cribbs.

“I don’t think I’m in that boat at this point in time,” Farmer said, via Mary Kay Cabot. “Who would I let go to sign Cribbs?’‘

Cowboys

• RB DeMarco Murray injured his pinky finger against Arizona.  He was wearing a splint on Tuesday, but should be fine to play Sunday. (Jon Machota)

Packers

• Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said that his hamstring is “fine.” (Rob Demovsky)

 Vikings
