Sounds like conspiracy theory BS to me.
1. If Fisher hated Hard Knocks so much then he would not have agreed to it this year. The only reason he did not want it back then was because Sam was there. So he had nothing to gain by not taking Sam. If he had not taken Sam he would have had no reason to not want to be on Hard Knocks.
2. The part at the end about the NFL also paying off other teams to pick different players is ridiculous. The fact that an unsigned free agent got a better deal than a late seventh round pick makes perfect sense when you realize the free agent can take competitive bids for his services while a draft pick can't.
I think the fact that he played at Missouri may have had something to do with the Rams taking him. But there is no evidnce of any deal with the NFL to give Fisher something he did not even want in order to draft Sam.
