Berea, OH (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Browns made another move to
bolster their defense, agreeing on a two-year contract with linebacker Quentin
Groves on Wednesday.
Groves departs from Arizona, where he spent the 2012 season and set career-
highs with 45 tackles and four sacks. The former second-round draft pick
appeared in all 16 contests for the Cardinals, making seven starts.
"Quentin is a solid player who will be another good addition to our front
seven," said Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski. "He showed pass rush ability
last season, working in a 3-4 defense for the first time. Having played for
(defensive coordinator) Ray (Horton) last year, he is familiar with our
scheme, and that will allow him to make a smooth transition. He also has been
a productive special teams player and can help us in that area as well."
Originally selected by the Jaguars in 2008, Groves played two seasons in
Jacksonville before spending the 2010-11 seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
Over the course of his career, the former Auburn product has registered 152
tackles and 6 1/2 sacks in 79 games.
