Floyd's recent pass rushing production has been a model of consistency, with the former first-round draft pick recording at least nine sacks in each of the last four seasons.
The 31-year-old was selected with the No. 9 overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft, spending four seasons with the Chicago Bears before stints with the Los Angeles Rams and Bills. Floyd has recorded five playoff sacks in nine career postseason games, winning Super Bowl LVI as a key cog in the Rams' defense.
