1. Lvl j 1 1Ca. U
Cardinals yesterday signed first-round
draft pick Curtis Greer of Michigan to
five one-year contracts in hopes he will
solve the team's absent pass rush of
last year.
Greer, who set records for quarter-
back sacks during his career at
Michigan, also received a' bonus for-
signing.
OTHER DETAILS of the contract
were not disclosed.
Greer, a 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive
end, had 48 tackles behind the line of
scrimmage for losses of 234 yards
during his four-year career. Both were
Michigan records. He also holds the
single-season record for both
categories, with 23 tackles for 107 yards
in losses last year.
The Cardinals had only 30 quarter-
back sacks last season, and 14 were
recorded by linebackers. Starting
defensive end John Zook is coming off
knee surgery and will be 33 in Septem-
ber. Bob Pollard, the other starting
defensive end is 32.
"I REALIZE nothing's going to be
handed to me," Greer said at a news
conference. "I know I'm going to have
to work hard for anything I get. That's
the type of attitude I'm going to have.
"I'm happy to be here. I hope I'm
here to stay."
Greer was the sixth selection in the
NFL draft and was the first defensive
player selected on the first round by the
Cardinals since they took Mike Dawson
No. 1 in 1976. The Cardinals finished in
the NFC Eastern Division basement
last year with a 5-11 record.
JOE SULLIVAN, the Cardinals' vice
president for operations, said Greer
had showed in a special mini-camp for
rookies why the Cardinals had him
rated as the best defensive end
available.
"He's going to be a good one,"
Sullivan said. "It's a very fine contract
and as he said he's very happy with it.
All he has to worry about now is playing
well and he will do that.
"We expect a hell of a lot from him.
But we were really pleased in the mini-
camp because he showed us everything
the scouts said about him was true."
GREER, who did not get involved in
the contract negotiations that were
handled by his agent, Michael Troup,
was forced to miss a three-day mini-
camp for veterans becauseHof a pulled
muscle.
"I knew I wanted to play here,"
Greer said. "I'm happy it's over with."
The Cardinals had already signed
four of their other draft picks - tight
end Doug Marsh from Michigan, quar-
terback Rusty Lisch from Notre Dame,
linebacker Ben Apuna from Arizona
State and defensive back Dupree Bran-
ch from Colorado State.
