    The Twitter account allegedly registered to DE Quentin Groves indicates that he’s been traded to the Raiders.
    Groves tweeted an hour ago, “OAKLAND HERE I COME!” and changed his Twitter avatar to the Raiders’ logo. Acquiring Groves, a situational defensive end, would decrease the likelihood of Oakland selecting Jason Pierre-Paul with the No. 8 overall pick. It would also amplify the Jags’ pass-rushing need.

    The Raiders have already promoted Aaron Curry into the starting lineup at weak-side linebacker, where he’ll replace Quentin Groves.
    Through five starts, Groves had 19 tackles, no sacks, and a forced fumble. Pro Football Focus has graded Groves as one of the Raiders’ better run defenders, so it’s surprising that they’d move so quickly to fast-track a player acquired via trade four days before the game. Curry may be a downgrade initially.
  • FA Linebacker #49
    Raiders acquired DE Quentin Groves from the Jaguars in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2010.
    Considering the playmakers acquired this spring for fifth-rounders, the deal is a steal for Jacksonville. Groves, a 2008 second-round pick, has flopped in his first two seasons, managing just 2.5 sacks in 31 games. In Oakland, he’ll compete for snaps in the nickel package behind Richard Seymour Matt Shaughnessy. Groves is unlikely to solve Oakland’s pass-rushing problems.
  • FA Linebacker #49
    The Raiders announced Quentin Groves as a linebacker in their team release following Wednesday’s trade.
    The Raiders are expected to use more 3-4 alignments in 2010, and both Groves and Kamerion Wimbley fit in well as rush linebackers in the scheme. Groves was out of position at defensive end in Jacksonville’s 4-3 scheme. This doesn’t mean Groves’ career will be rejuvenated in the NFL’s wasteland.
  • FA Linebacker #49
    Quentin Groves is expected to reclaim his starting spot at weakside linebacker after recovering from a hamstring injury.
    Trevor Scott, who had been filling in, will move back to defensive end where he played in the first four games. Matt Shaughnessy will head back to a rotational role while Scott starts opposite Lamarr Houston.
  • FA Linebacker #49
    The Raiders have promoted Quentin Groves into the starting lineup at weak-side linebacker, with Trevor Scott moving back to end.
    Scott will be used as a situational rusher, operating with his hand in the dirt after posting seven sacks from the linebacker position last season. The move is a big surprise considering Scott’s production at the position. Groves is bigger, but hasn’t played the linebacker spot dating back to Auburn.

    The Giants worked out free agent DE/LB Quentin Groves on Monday.
    The G-Men like linebacker/defensive end hybrids, having had success with Mathias Kiwanuka in the role and used a second-round pick on Clint Sintim. Groves was the 52nd pick in the 2008 draft, but has had a nondescript NFL career. He’s played in 63 career games, starting 22, and has only 2.5 sacks.
  • FA Linebacker #49
    The Dolphins are expected to host DE/OLB Quentin Groves on a free agent visit.
    The 52nd pick in the 2008 draft, Groves hasn’t recorded a sack since his rookie season. The Dolphins are considering a hybrid defense this season, so Groves’ versatility could appeal in a backup role.
