Washington released safety D.J. Swearinger on Monday, two days after he made critical comments about defensive coordinator Greg Manusky's play-calling.
Swearinger called into the Grant & Danny Show on 106.7 The Fan and said coach Jay Gruden cut him because of the comments. The veteran safety was highly critical of Manusky following Saturday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, bemoaning a lack of aggression and saying the defense was schemed poorly against backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
"I feel like with a lot of these playmakers we got on the team, I feel like you should be trying to get your players involved," Swearinger told reporters.
