a roster spot on a guy who will likely be suspended and isn't repentant over his alcohol issues.

Arizona Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill said Michael Floyd had a chance to remain with the team following his
Monday morning arrest for a DUI.
Visiting with the Sunday pregame show on
Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Bidwill said Floyd showed no remorse and did not inform the team of his arrest before the Cardinals found out through their own sources and then the media.
“Their story changed, there was no remorse, we ask him to be proactive in terms of his approach to this — (he was) unapologetic,” Bidwill said of the two days before Arizona cut Floyd on Wednesday. “I was not satisfied with how he handled it.
“He certainly could’ve played it a lot differently,” Bidwill added. “We wanted to give him an opportunity to address his issues. How this whole set of circumstances (unfolded), I was just disappointed about how it played out.”
Bidwill said that the Cardinals asked Floyd to address some of the issues but the response was not what they were looking for.
“We asked him to proactively address this, we had multiple conversations with him, with his agent, they just didn’t want to do that,” Bidwill said. “We decided, you know what, we’re moving 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.”
Asked if the cutting of Floyd has a larger message that the current Cardinals should look at, Bidwill said, “Make smarter decisions and when you’re in the National Football League, pay attention to your profession seven days a week.”
Floyd will have to wait at least another week before he makes his former team regret cutting him.
The New England Patriots listed
Floyd as inactive for the team’s Week 15 showdown with the Denver Broncos.
New England
picked him up off waivers on Thursday.
Floyd had 33 receptions for 446 yards and four touchdowns with the Cardinals this season.

Well, Floyd responded again, which should hopefully put a bow on this entire situation on
ESPN Radio:
“Random people just say the most crazy things, probably most of them were Arizona people,” h
e said. “They just think I’m not sorry for what I did, or I disrespected Arizona. All I can say is I made a mistake. I’m sorry for what I did. I’m moving forward. I think some people didn’t want me to be successful. I think that’s just life. I think there are a lot of people out there that don’t want people to succeed. You just have to make the best of it. For me, I got on a team that loved me and I was actually successful.”
“I made a dumb decision to drive,” Floyd said. “I thought I was OK and I fell asleep and I think the whole world knows what happened after that. It’s a dumb decision by an individual, you learn from it and move on.”
I get it...I think he had a couple incidents at ND.....Okay...when do we allow a young adult to move on? Not on his terms, but ours???
