Free agent linebacker Quentin Groves has found a new home in Arizona.

The Cardinals signed Groves today, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Groves was a second-round pick of the Jaguars in 2008 and spent two seasons in Jacksonville, playing in all 32 games but struggling to find a place for himself on the defense. He was traded to the Raiders for a fifth-round pick in 2009 and spent two years in Oakland, earning a spot in the starting lineup in his first season but being mostly a backup in 2011.

In Arizona Groves will provide depth at the outside linebacker position, where O’Brien Schofield and Sam Acho are penciled in as the starters, and contribute on special teams.
