Michael Floyd is reportedly going home.

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported Wednesday that the former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver has agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings. Floyd, a native of St. Paul, Minnesota, can make up to $6 million with the incentives included in his contract, according to Rapoport.

Floyd was selected by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He was released by the team in December following a DUI arrest in Scottsdale.

Days after his release, Floyd was claimed by the New England Patriots. He celebrated the Patriots' Super Bowl victory in February despite not playing in the game.

Floyd recorded 242 catches for 3,739 yards and 23 touchdowns during his five seasons (76 games) in Arizona.
