The deal is a 4 year rookie contract, with a team option of a 5th year. The financials of the deal weren;t announced, but NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, said Floyd’s four-year deal is worth $10 million in guaranteed money, with of course the option for the 5th year.

Selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the 6 ft. 3 in. wide receiver set school records at Notre Dame with 271 receptions for 3,686 yards and 37 touchdowns in his career. Floyd is coming off a senior season in which he caught 100 passes for 1,147 yards and 9 touchdowns.

Michael is expected to help Pro-Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald out on offense and give a duel threat that defenses have to take account for. Both players, if used properly, can have terrific seasons. A;; the pressure on the Cardinals lies in quarterback Kevin Kolb’s hands.

Notre Dame was placed in ESPN College Football Live’s Top 25 Preseason Poll a few weeks ago at number 24. However, that has since changed.

In the latest poll on ESPN, Notre Dame has been dropped out of the top 25. How can this happen if they haven’t even stepped on the field since mid-April?

Before I answer that question, lets look at who replaced Notre Dame.

1. LSU
2. USC
3. Alabama
4. Oregon
5. Georgia
6. Oklahoma
7. Florida State
8. West Virginia
9. Michigan
10. South Carolina
11. Michigan State
12. Stanford
13. Arkansas
14. TCU
15. Wisconsin
16. Clemson
17. Ohio State
18. Kansas State
19. Texas
20. Florida
21. Washington
22. Oklahoma State
23. Virginia Tech
24. Nebraska
25. Georgia Tech

Boise State and Notre Dame were replaced by Washington and Georgia Tech. Although it doesn’t really matter where ND is right now in the polls because it is still May, here’s why I think they were where pushed off the list.

DaVaris Daniels, sophomore wide-receiver for UND, was cited for consumption of alcohol by a minor on May 13, according to police records in Vernon Hills, Ill.

30 underage drinkers were cited at the same party as Daniels. Police said they were responding to a call for an ambulance when “all subjects were found to be participating in an underage party and had consumed alcohol while under the age of 21.”

In response to what happend, here’s what head coach Brian Kelly said on Daniels’s arrest.

“I’m aware of the citation DaVaris received and will be speaking with him about the matter,” Irish coach Brian Kelly said in a statement released late Wednesday. “Any team-related discipline that may be forthcoming will be handled internally.” -Chicago Tribune

This is the 3rd legal problem the Irish have had to face this year. Quarterback Tommy Rees and Carlo Calabrese were arrest after police broke-up a party just outside of Notre Dame campus.

DaVaris Daniels was expected to play a major role in the Irish offense next season. Despite not playing last year, Daniels could fill the void created by former wide-out Michael Floyd.

What happens here? Does Brian Kelly have to make an example of these 3 players?
