After playing for both the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots last year, Michael Floyd has found his new home. He will reportedly sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

The move comes after the compensatory pick threshold passes. Any players signed after May 9th won't count against potential comp picks team will receive.
Rapoport adds it's a one-year deal worth about $1.5 million. However, incentives can increase the deal up to $6 million.
Floyd was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, but he didn't live up to expectations in Arizona. The Cardinals cut him after a DUI arrest in December. After catching 65 passes for 1,041 yards and 5 TDs 2013, Floyd never topped 850 yards.
It's a return home for Floyd, who was born and raised in Saint Paul. He joins a Vikings WR corps that includes Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, Laquon Treadwell, Jarius Wright and a few recent late round draft picks.
