Michael Floyd lands one-year contract with Vikings

Michael Floyd is headed home for another opportunity.

The former Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots wide receiver agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings, the team announced Wednesday.

A St. Paul native and the No. 13 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, Floyd returns to Minnesota looking to revive his playing career. He was arrested on Dec. 12 of last year after he was discovered by Scottsdale, Ariz., police asleep at the wheel and registered a .217 blood alcohol level. In February, he pleaded guilty to extreme DUI.

The Cardinals waived Floyd two days after the arrest, but he was later claimed by the Patriots. He appeared in two regular-season games and one postseason contest but was inactive for Super Bowl LI.

"I am very excited to come home and play for the Minnesota Vikings," Floyd said in a statement. "I have been training extremely hard this offseason in addition to taking responsibility and paying the consequences for my mistake. Although I cannot change my past decisions, I have definitely learned from this experience and look forward to making valuable contributions to the Vikings organization and the Minnesota community, both as a player and a person. Time to go to work."
