The New England Patriots?claimed former Arizona Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd off waivers Thursday, just three days after he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and failure to obey a police officer.Floyd was taken into custody after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his running vehicle at an intersection in suburban Scottsdale, Arizona, early Monday. He was booked and released from jail later that morning. The Cardinals released him Wednesday.The Patriots have been carrying just four true wide receivers on their 53-man roster for most of the season, and their depth has been tested since No. 4 option Danny Amendola injured his ankle Dec. 4 against the Los Angeles Rams.That led the team to sign free agent Griff Whalen to a one-year deal last week. But Floyd, a first-round pick in 2012, represents what appears to be an upgrade.?Whalen was released Thursday to make room for Floyd.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Floyd will travel to Denver for Sundays game against the Broncos but would not say whether the wide receiver will be active.Were aware of the situation that came up earlier in the week. Well let that legal situation play itself out. Well see how it goes, Belichick said of Floyds arrest. Its a player we havent had before. We look forward to working with him.Floyd participated in Patriots practice Friday.Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Malcolm Mitchell are the Patriots top three wide receivers, with a combined 139 receptions for 1,762 yards and 10 touchdowns.Floyd had 33 catches for 446 yards and four touchdowns for Arizona this season. Those were well off his stats in 2015, when he overcame early injury problems to catch 52 passes for 849 yards. His best season was 2013, when he hauled in 65 receptions for?1,041 yards.In claiming Floyd, the Patriots (11-2) inherit the remainder of his contract, which expires after the season. Floyd is scheduled to earn $1.2 million for the rest of the regular season and would receive playoff shares that go to every player if he is on the Patriots roster in the postseason.An unrestricted free agent after the season, Floyd will count as part of the Patriots compensatory draft-pick formula if he signs elsewhere -- assuming he spends the rest of 2016 on the roster.Floyd could face discipline from the league for the DUI arrest, but a punishment likely would not be imposed until the 2017 season.The Cardinals mentioned Floyds release without comment Wednesday in a news release that announced several other roster moves.Arizona made Floyd the 13th pick overall in the 2012 draft after the receivers standout career at?Notre Dame?under former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and current coach Brian Kelly.A couple of hours before New England made the move, Arizona receiver?Larry Fitzgerald?described Floyd as like my brother after his release and said, I love him dearly, and like any other family member, I never turn my back on him, no matter what.Fitzgerald said he met with Floyd on Wednesday and planned to do so again on Thursday.Im going to support him, Fitzgerald said in his first public comments about his good friend. I saw him yesterday. Im going to see him again today. Its important during these times to support people when theyre going through some stuff.Fitzgerald said Floyd was going to be a great pickup for whoever lands him.Youve got a young guy whos hungry, hes eager to make plays on a contract year, Fitzgerald said. Hes got a chip on his shoulder now, not that he didnt already have one, but hes got a bigger one -- and I hope he goes and makes a deep playoff run.Information from ESPNs Mike Reiss and Josh Weinfuss and The Associated Press was used in this report.

All the build-up ahead of Super Bowl 50 CAM NEWTON v PEYTON MANNINGPeyton Manning is a future Hall of Famer, hes played 18/19 years at a very high level. He has led two franchises to Super Bowls, has tonnes of passing yards, tonnes of games. A true ambassador for the NFL.Cam Newton is a young gun, hes up and coming. He will win the MVP and hes deserved it. Newton claims MVP award Cam Newton is the NFLs MVP He can beat you with his legs, he can beat you with his arm and now he is beating people with his mind and I think, with his talent and his skillset, he can put his teams in positives situations with every play - it makes him very dangerous.Two really good quarterbacks, personalties are extreme. Peyton is a more traditional and a conservative type of guy and Cam is the new era of athlete. Both are outstanding players.If Peyton decides to move on and retire I think the game is in great hands with Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning - we are in good shape. A tale of two quarterbacks Manning and Newton have a crucial role to play, whats their story BRONCOS DEFENSEThe Denver defense has got to play really well and create turnovers. They have to tackle well too, thats an issue that is an underrated part of this game. Who is going to tackle welll?The Panthers have guys like Newton, Jonathan Stewart and Ted Ginn, guys who can make plays - you have to get those guys down on the ground and not let them get yards after the catch.dddddddddddd Von Miller (L) and DeMarcus Ware (R) are a key part of the Denver defense who Torry Holt believes will have to play well And the same thing goes for Carolina. Can they tackle well? Can they create turnovers like they have done all year?Especially in post-season, the Panthers defense has been able to create turnovers and score on those turnovers. Can they continue that?FAST STARTAll year the Panthers have got off to amazing starts, theyve been up on teams 24-0, 28-0, 31-0, 28-7. Theyve got out on teams quickly and they have the right formula when they do get out. They can run the football and eat up the clock and they can play good defense. Ted Ginn #19 and the Carolina offense have made rapid starts this season, can they do so again? I dont think Denver have enough on offense. Peyton still has a lot of playmaking ability and he will make plays but if the Panthers can get in front and keep them in long third down situations, forcing Peyton to throw long down the field, that is not his strength anymore. That plays to the Panthers advantageEmanuel Saunders and Demariyus Thomas have to have big games. Ronnie Hillman and Anderson will have to run the ball very well. The Panthers main goal will be to stop the run - if they feel they can stop the run that puts Denver in a situation to be one dimensional and I dont think Peyton is the Peyton of old and while he will make plays, it might not be the plays we are accustomed to seeing him make.
