5 potential landing spots for Michael Floyd

2. Houston Texans

Based on the bloated contract they gave him last offseason, the Texans are stuck with Brock Osweiler under center for at least one more season. So adding talent around him has to be a priority until further notice, and outside of DeAndre Hopkins Houston’s group of pass catchers is not very impressive.

Floyd has proven to be a capable deep threat during his career, with a career yards-per catch average of 15.5 and three seasons where he’s averaged at least 16 yards per reception. So he would be a solid fit with a strong-armed pocket passer, not unlike Cardinals’ quarterback Carson Palmer, and at 6-foot-2 Floyd could corral Osweiler’s shatter-shot passes.

The Texans may win a second straight AFC South title this year, but that does not mean they are a team without flaws. Floyd would help address a very big one, and if he is motivated while keeping his head on straight there’s potential for a mutually beneficial relationship between team and player.
