PLAYER NEWS
The Cleveland Browns continued a spending spree to upgrade their defense in free agency, signing former Arizona linebacker Quentin Groves to a two-year, $2.8 million contract on Wednesday.|||||||
Groves is the third defensive player signed already by the Browns, who agreed to terms with linebacker Paul Kruger and lineman Desmond Bryant on Tuesday. The Browns entered free agency $47.4 million under the salary cap and have so far been among the NFL's most aggressive teams.
The Cardinals have signed Groves.|||||||
The 6-foot-3, 265-pound Groves spent the past two seasons with Oakland. He played in all 16 games last season for the Raiders, making three starts and finishing with 19 tackles. The former Auburn player was traded to Oakland in 2010 after two seasons with Jacksonville.
The Jacksonville Jaguars traded Groves to the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday for an undisclosed draft pick. Groves announced the trade on Twitter by writing "Duval County....I LOVE U GUYS...thanks for all your support...New Starts(equals)New Beginnings...OAKLAND HERE I COME!!!!" The Jaguars confirmed it a short time later.|||||||
The trade should give Groves a chance to start over. A second-round pick out of Auburn in 2008, Groves had 2 1/2 sacks as a rookie but none last year. He played every game in two seasons, recording 51 tackles and an interception. But he also dropped from starter to third-teamer.
