TEMPE, Ariz., March 8 (UPI) -- Former Cleveland strong safety Robert Griffith signed a two-year contract Tuesday with the Arizona Cardinals.
Griffith started all 16 games for Cleveland in 2004. He was released after new Coach Romeo Crennel took over the Browns.
Griffith had a career-high 157 tackles (93 solo), one interception and one sack with the Browns a season ago.
An 11-year veteran, Griffith has appeared in 163 regular-season games (132 starts) collecting 1,122 tackles (801 solo) and 23 interceptions.
Originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by Minnesota in 1994 out of San Diego State, Griffith reunites with former Vikings coach and current Cardinals coach Dennis Green.
Griffith is the fourth unrestricted veteran free agent to join the Cardinals in the past five days. The team added offensive tackle Oliver Ross from Pittsburgh on Friday, quarterback Kurt Warner from the Giants on Sunday, and defensive end Chike Okeafor on Monday.
