Cardinals sign DE Rucker

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to terms with free agent defensive end Frostee Rucker on a one-year contract, the team announced on Thursday.

Rucker was released by the Cleveland Browns in February after one season in which the seven-year veteran started all 16 games and recorded 48 tackles and four sacks. He had signed a five-year contract with Cleveland last March after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The former third-round draft choice has totaled 195 tackles, 11 sacks and one interception over 69 career games with the Bengals and Browns.
