Cardinals claim D.J. Swearinger off waivers

The Arizona Cardinals claimed defensive back D.J. Swearinger off waivers from the Washington Redskins.

What It Means:

The Cardinals had the top waiver claim, so Swearinger was not passed by any teams after being released by Washington on Christmas Eve. He could be a 2019 starter for the Cardinals in what will be his age-28 campaign and the last year of his current contract. Swearinger spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons in Arizona before leaving as a free agent.

Swearinger led Washington in interceptions (4) and pass deflections (10) over 15 games. The Cardinals D/ST is 20th in numberFire's Week 16 fantasy rankings.
