TEMPE, Ariz. -- Free safety Terrence Holt signed a five-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.
Terms weren't disclosed. Holt, younger brother of St. Louis Rams wide receiver Torry Holt, started 15 games last season for the Detroit Lions. He had a career-high 76 tackles, 51 solos, and three interceptions.
In Arizona, Holt gets the chance to play alongside his North Carolina State teammate, Pro Bowl strong safety Adrian Wilson.
A fifth-round selection by the Lions in 2003, Holt became a fulltime starter in 2005 but was sidelined after 10 games because of an elbow injury.
Holt has played in 53 games, 27 of them starts, with 117 tackles - 107 solos - eight interceptions, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
