D.J. Swearinger

D.J. Swearinger waived by Washington on Monday

The Washington Redskins waived defensive back D.J. Swearinger.

What It Means:

This comes after Swearinger said he "probably watches more film than the coaches," following Saturday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old played all but one defensive snap for Washington this season and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate. He is only owed $176,470 over the rest of the season and will likely draw plenty of interest from playoff-bound teams.

Swearinger led Washington in interceptions (4) and pass deflections (10) over 15 games.
