Report: Redskins Release D.J. Swearinger for Critical Comments After Game vs. Titans
The Washington Redskins have released safety D.J. Swearinger following his open criticism of defensive coordinator Greg Manusky's play-calling after Saturday's loss, Swearinger told 106.7 The Fan on Monday.
The Redskins (7–8) were officially eliminated from playoff contention after losing 25–16 to the Titans in Week 16. Swearinger spoke to the media afterwards, lamenting at the team's defensive game plan. Swearinger said Manusky's plan led to Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert finding open field in the passing game when the defense needed stops in the second half.
