Groves signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Monday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports. |
Groves was one of several players the Bills brought in for workouts Monday, ultimately signing the 31-year-old for added depth at outside linebacker.

He'll aim to earn a reserve role for the Bills to open 2015. |

Texans signed OLB Quentin Groves. |
Groves, 30, was cut by the Browns last month and had previously worked out for the Titans, Redskins, Patriots, and Jets. While the former second-round pick never developed into an impact pass-rusher, Groves is a serviceable reserve who excels on special teams. He has a legit shot at the 53-man roster. |

Free agent OLB Quentin Groves worked out for the Jets on Monday. |
Groves was cut by the Browns last month and has also had workouts with the Patriots, Redskins, and Titans since. The Jets are banking on a soon-to-be 34-year-old Calvin Pace and a boom-or-bust Quinton Coples to man their starting edge rusher spots. They also seriously lack depth. Groves would by no means start, but he'd be a top reserve and contribute on special teams for Gang Green. |
