But the perennial playoff team the Patriots signed Floyd. We sit back and do nothing with sore back Dez, .5WR TWilly, and neverwas Brice.

Might be why we didn't want him. Not enough of a reclaim project story there, for Jerry.

Michael Floyd's discipline after DUI arrest to depend on BAC
Adam Schefter
ESPN Senior Writer
Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd, who was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots following a DUI arrest last week, is expected to face discipline this offseason, league sources said.
The question is how much.
The discipline likely will center on the blood test Floyd took the morning he was arrested for the DUI, after he refused to take a breathalyzer. Results of that blood test are expected back within the next month, and they will determine the receiver's level of intoxication and quite possibly the punishment he will face.

Arizona has some of the country's strictest DUI laws, and there are some who think Floyd could serve jail time if his results are high. But wherever they come in, he is expected to face a multigame suspension from the NFL.
Floyd will not be active Sunday, when the Patriots visit the Denver Broncos, sources said.
New England claimed him Thursday, one day after he was released by Arizona. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday that the wideout would travel with the team to Denver but didn't say if he would play.

A good move by a good team. what is the risk? just over a million (which is chump change in the NFL).
If he works out then they have an upgrade at WR, if he doesn't they simply release him...
And he's a HUGE UPGRADE over Williams, Butler and Whitehead at WR

He's a dipshit, which is why he has been in Bruce Arians doghouse all year and then got outright released.
Is he better than Butler and Whitehead, yeah. But both of them do have some speed and Floyd has about zero.
I don't agree he is better today than T Williams.

You really need to back that up. Start with this, is there a catch that Floyd can't make?

Cardinals president 'disappointed' in how Michael Floyd handled DUI arrest
Josh Weinfuss
ESPN Staff Writer
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said on the team's pregame show Sunday that he was not "satisfied" with how former wide receiver Michael Floyd handled his arrest Monday.
Bidwill said the team first heard about Floyd's arrest, which occurred around 3 a.m. Monday, from sources, and then the media, about 90 minutes before Floyd told the team he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and failure to obey a police officer. Floyd was found asleep behind the wheel of his Cadillac Escalade early Monday morning in Scottsdale.

Sources: Floyd's BAC will affect NFL punishment
Sources say Michael Floyd's discipline will depend on the level of his intoxication from blood tests last week, when the ex-Cardinals receiver was arrested.
Between Monday and early Wednesday afternoon, when Floyd was cut, Bidwill said Floyd changed his story and didn't show any remorse.
"I was disappointed with how he handled it," Bidwill said. "We asked him to be proactive in terms of his approach to this. He was unapologetic. There were a number of things. I was just not satisfied with how he handled it."
Bidwill said the team offered Floyd an opportunity to "proactively" address his issues during conversations with both the 27-year-old receiver and his agent. Floyd could have "played it a lot different," Bidwill said.
"We just determined, you know what? He's just not going to play for us again," Bidwill said. "Release him, it's better to move on. I hope he gets healthy. I like him personally. He's a great kid.
"I was really disappointed with how he handled this and, you know, how he was handling his approach to the game, his approach to conditioning and approach to things, and I think it was affecting him -- some of his issues were affecting him on the field."
Floyd, who was claimed off waivers by the Patriots following his release, was inactive on Sunday.
