Floyd shrugs off trade rumors

It was about this time last year when rumors cropped up about the Cardinals and potentially trading wide receiver Michael Floyd, something that obviously didn't happen. Similar rumblings have come up this week, that Floyd-- heading into the final year of his contract -- could be dealt draft weekend for a pick. Floyd shrugged it off last year, and he does the same now.

"I don't worry about it at all," Floyd said prior to throwing out the first pitch at Tuesday night's Diamondbacks game. "It's kind of what I saw last year too, but I don't worry about it at all. I go into work, put my work in, watch film with my teammates and go about my day."

Floyd would seem to be more likely than not to stay a Cardinal, but the speculation about his future isn't going to fade. He's due a little more than $7 million this year and then the Cards will have to determine if they want to get a long-term deal done and Floyd will have to decide if it makes sense to stay. The 2012 first-round pick has been good the last couple of years but hasn't reached the level that the Cards had hoped by now. As a free agent, Floyd figures to be primed to make a lot on the open market -- perhaps more than the Cards will be willing to spend. There's also the puzzle piece that is Larry Fitzgerald and Fitz's impending free agency as well.
