Michael Floyd's disastrous 2016 season has cost him a job.

The Arizona Cardinals announced Wednesday that they have released the wide receiver in the wake of Monday's arrest on drunken driving charges. Floyd was previously arrested in 2011 for driving under the influence.

With his rookie contract expiring, Floyd was set to reach free agency in March. All but eliminated from the playoff picture following last week's loss at Miami, the Cardinals opted to pull the cord with three games remaining in a disappointing season.

Expensive DUI.

[RunKC]

Why cut him? Don't think they can get a comp pick now.

[Reerun_KC]

Gas left in tank, show ropes, bring for a look

He will be a stud in KC, better franchise, better coaches, better opportunities, only reason he sucks is because....

What CP cliche am I missing ?

Antifreeze & AIDS Tree

[ptlyon]

He will be a stud in KC, better franchise, better coaches, better opportunities...

And certainly better bars

[RobBlake]

he has talent.Bruce doesn't seem like a guy you feel comfortable opening up too. Andy does. He would do damage as a number 4 WR behind Maclin, hill and conley.

[The Franchise]

Why cut him? Don't think they can get a comp pick now.

You really think someone is going to sign him to a huge contract after that DUI? He'll be lucky to get a one year prove it deal.

[ModSocks]

Dude was considered a bit of a headcase coming out of college. He could barely get on the field this season and was just popped for a DUI....sounds like he's got some personal problems to deal with and his head simply isn't in the game.

[ModSocks]

With that said.....BRING HIM IN FOR A LOOK!!

[Why Not?]

Fuck no! He sucks. Guy is good for a minimum of 1 drive killing drop per game

[sedated]

I think every season has started with "this is his breakout year". Never happened. Still young though and apparently has a bunch of talent.

Bring back Dwayne Blowes?

:cuss:


Damn thats a classic... How did I miss that one?

[thabear04]

Did he hit a pole if not then bring him in for a look.

[Why Not?]

Bring back Dwayne Blowes?

Bowe is Megatron when compared to Micheal Void

[vailpass]

And certainly better bars

Hah.
No.

[ptlyon]

Hah.
No.

(I know that as well but making a funny)

[vailpass]

(I know that as well but making a funny)

Well don't I look like the fucking dumb guy. My bad.

[OldSchool]

Man, for a while it looked like he was going to be their next cornerstone WR. Just never turned the corner.

Alcoholism will do that to a player...

[fan4ever]

And certainly better bars

HEY, HEY, HEY NOW...

...we've got some pretty good bars here...and a lot of them.

[fan4ever]

Hah.
No.

Not to mention the female talent out here...yowza...

Unless he can play MLB

[Mr. Laz]

I've heard that Floyd was going to be a pro bowler.

[Easy 6]

The Cardinals just fell right the hell apart this year, I thought Arians had a better grip on his team than this

[Bwana]

Bring back Dwayne Blowes?

Sonic would be happy, the fans wouldn't.

[gonefishin53]

He's caught 53% of his targets for his career. Hope the Raiders sign him, he can keep Aldon Smith company.

[TimeForWasp]

Bring him in for a drink.

[BWillie]

Perfect player for Andy Reid's system

And he can hang out with Eric Warfield and stuff.

[Couch-Potato]

"Andy has a history of working with troubled players" - another cliche missed

[Chief Pagan]

I was hoping/rooting for the Cardinals this year. I was ready for someone besides GB/Seattle/Carolina to come out of the NFC. Sure as hell didn't want it to be the Cowboys.

Good pick up by them.

Of course he turn into a pro bowl WR there.

When does his suspension start?

So we passed on him?

Presumably the whole NFL passed on him. Pats are either last or second to last in waiver priority.

It's not like we could have used a 6'3" RZ threat or anything.

[ModSocks]

Sure, if he were playing well. While i would've been happy if the Chiefs had grabbed him, it doesn't bother me a bit that they didn't.

I have no idea what's going with his personal life, but passing out drunk at a stoplight? From all accounts, the dude just isn't focused on football.

[Amnorix]

$1.2mm for three games might've been too steep, especially for the Chiefs if I remember right. Think they are somewhat cap-constrained.

Or people were hoping he'd pass through waivers unclaimed, at which point a new contract could be negotiated.

This is classic Belichick though. Pats have plenty of cap room next year, we bring in a former Charlie Weis guy for a look, since we're low on WRs. He's a big, RZ threat as you say, and we're down Gronk. If he works out, we have exclusive negotiating rights through March and can entice him with $$ + Tom MF Brady. If he doesn't work out, let him walk and maybe get a comp. pick for him.

I hope he works out. We haven't had a WR with this kind of size since Moss. At least one who didn't flat suck (e.g. Dobson).

[Hoover]

Perfect deal for the Pats.

We should have found the cap space. Its only money.

[Amnorix]

It's not the actual cash, it's the cap space. Right now Chiefs have the third least amount of cap space in 2017. Obviously, guys can be cut and deals restructured, etc., but eliminating $1.2mm this year means $1.2mm less can be rolled over to next year.

Then factor in that a suspension hasn't come down from the league yet.

I understand how it works. You find a way to make it work, especially with Maclin being all dinged up. Hell I would have done it to keep him away from NE.

[The Franchise]

For a WR that's never played in this offense before.....and is not that far away from being suspended by the NFL? Nope.

[philfree]

As far as the 6'3" redzone threat. We already have a couple of those that don't get enough RZ targets as it is. Adding one more would just be a waste.

[O.city]

Meh

[chiefzilla1501]

I would rather have a motivated overachiever like conley than a lazy mofo with talent like Floyd.

[HemiEd]

Belichick will turn him into a choir boy.

[chiefzilla1501]

The Cardinals just fell right the hell apart this year, I thought Arians had a better grip on his team than this

It's strange that a QB guru built this team around a middling veteran QB. The wheels fell off the Carson Palmer bus. It's amazing they're this bad, considering they have a RB that may be a consensus MVP if the Cards were a winner.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Signed by Pats

[Chief Northman]

He can follow in the steps of the great Donte Stallworth. Hopefully without the manslaughter and all.....

[Couch-Potato]

So... the best team in the league, in this year and the last 10, picked this guy up as they are headed on the path to another SB. Meanwhile, we pass on him and currently look like one of the Pats top contenders for the Chip.

Hmmmm? I think every team in the league may feel like they just made a mistake. Pats always know something you don't haha!

[lewdog]

A guy I have watched take off more plays than just about anyone in the past few years.

No thanks.

That's what I was thinking. Bellichek will have him turned around in no time.

Because Patriots
