OT: Cards release Michael Floyd

[Joey007]

I don't think we need him at this point, but I know he was someone people talked about coming here next offseason.

Wow...

Alan Branch 2.0.

 

[Edelmania]

Thats crazy.

 

[RobertWeathers]

BB gave Branch a 2nd chance and hes had all kinds of issues.

Maybe not this year but what the hell?

 

[Kontradiction]

I'd give him a look if he clears waivers. The team needs more depth at the position. He played at Notre Dame and he's smart. I suspect he'd be able to pick up the offense by the time the playoffs roll around.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I really loved Floyd at Notre Dame. Don't see how he isn't claimed on waivers, though. His potential is too high to make it through, I would imagine. He may not be a superstar, but he's had 1000 yard seasons before. He's a big bodied, proven receiver. He'll latch on somewhere.

[Ross12]

If he clears waivers and he's not doing anything else this season then why not sign him for the rest of the season? Shoot, he could be ready to make a few plays in the playoffs. Better than Griff Whalen, I would assume.

Definition of an underachiever who needs a new start.
Happens to be at a position where we are thin. I would assume if we have one injury at WR this guy could see a lot of time. Big guy, which could help since we are down to 1 TE.
Don't see any reason not to grab him, depending on contract status, even make a waiver claim.

Nothing. To. Lose.

Idk if he could block, but imagine him playing a Flex TE for us (Hernandez-style, without the killing).

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

An upgrade over Griff. BB says he always works to make the team better. Sign the beast.

 

[oldrover]

(IMHO of course )

 

[JMC00]

$1.3m cap hit if my math is right.

Will be surprised if he isn't claimed by a team ahead of the Pats. I would absolutely do it though. Nothing to lose.

 

[jri37]

The guy is talented for sure but... IMO it sets a bad precedent this year. It's like unofficially telling the players on the roster here there are no ramifications for driving under the influence. I would be shocked if he could even get anywhere near prepared to play in the offense here. In Arizona they pretty much run a number route tree passing scheme, here it its defensive recognition route adjustments. Just my .02 cents.

 

[long distance]

Im not sure BB is a “house cabernet“ guy ..

"Police said Floyd's story jumped around between him drinking on the team plane back from Miami and drinking at the W Scottsdale hotel, but Floyd eventually 'settled' on having had wine—'house cabernet'—on the team plane," Weinfuss continued. "Floyd also told the officers he was on a blood-thinning medication."

Floyd was also arrested in 2011 for a DUI while he was at Notre Dame and was cited in 2010 for underage drinking.

 

[Ring 6]

Idk if he could block, but imagine him playing a Flex TE for us (Hernandez-style, without the killing).

The problem with that is its the defense that determines what position he is. Meaning they would certainly treat him as a WR and cover him with a corner, so the value of pretending he is a flex TE is limited to if he can block like one. Otherwise its defended as 3 WR.

1.3 for the remaining 3 weeks? UFA in 2017?

We are giving one to Griff Whalen.
