Herm Edwards Michael Sam's Gayness Is 'Baggage'
Well, Michael Sam ... here's what you're up against.
Former NFL coach-turned-ESPN analyst Herm Edwards went on the air last night and declared that Sam's sexual orientation is considered "baggage" and coaches will have to decide if they want it in their locker rooms.
"He's a player that has issues," Edwards said referring to Sam's sexual orientation ... "Off the field issues."
He continued, "The thing you talk about in your organization with the G.M. and obivously the owner is, 'Can we handle this guy?' Can we handle the media that's gonna come along with this situation?"
"He's bringing baggage into your locker room."
