The Cardinals moved on from Michael Floyd quickly after his arrest for suspicion of DUI, and maybe that shouldn't have been a surprise. The team's president is, after all, the chairman of the NFL's conduct committee, and Michael Bidwill has strong feelings on off-field conduct. The circumstances had morphed for Floyd from the beginning of the season, when it was likely the free-agent-to-be was looking for a long-term contract that was probably going to be too rich for the Cards' budget, to now, when he struggled every step of the way and had undercut his own open market -- even before Sunday night's/Monday morning's incident.

But that part is over now. As for some of the details of the aftermath:

-- This is the kind of thing that shakes up a team. "Obviously, this whole year has been kind of rough," safety Tyrann Mathieu said. "And then seeing stuff like that happen, I think we're all shocked and kind of in disbelief. We've got three games left to play so we've got to stay focused."

-- Yes, had the Cardinals carried Floyd through the end of the season and let him leave as a free agent, he likely would have figured in the equation for comp draft picks in 2018. But it isn't a one-for-one thing. A team's entire free-agent haul is compared (through a super secret formula based on the new contract and production) to what free agents were lost, and then the picks are distributed. With Floyd's play this season, it was highly likely he was going to sign a relatively cheap, one-year contract anyway for 2017, in an attempt to rehab his value on the market and then try again in 2018.

Would he have been a comp pick factor? Probably. But it'll be hard to tell how much.

-- If Floyd is picked up on waivers, which we will know soon, he's due $1.2 million. If not, he'll be available as a free agent. UPDATE: The Patriots claimed Floyd off waivers.

-- Carson Palmer was asked directly if he thought Floyd -- who also had a DUI in college -- had a problem. Palmer, who had already noted Floyd was a friend, quickly said no. He does face a possible suspension of a couple of games next season from the league.

-- Where to now for the receiving corps these last three games? Coach Bruce Arians said Smokey Brown can "hopefully" get more snaps this week. J.J. Nelson has played better, but he still has to show he can do it consistently. Brittan Golden, you're going to get some time. And this, more than any other reason, is why David Johnson may be a 1,000x2 guy after all.

-- This was probable even if Floyd wasn't released, because like I said I didn't expect his return, but the Cardinals will have to look seriously at drafting a bigger receiver now. Floyd won't be around and Larry Fitzgerald's status has reached year-to-year.
