LOL

Calls the coaches out for their inability to game plan and watch film. Their response is to cut him? Careful Gruden, your insecurity is showing. 

Given that this is the 2nd time Swearinger has been cut from a team in this fashion, I'd say that there might be more to this than an insecure coaching staff...

Good thing they traded for HHCD?... Can the Packers pick Swearinger up and get a 4th round pick and a better player than HHCD from the Redskins? Have to imagine he will be claimed off waivers by a team ahead of us

Does he go to waivers?  He's been a vet for awhile.

You're right. KC makes sense then to go after him

He would be subjected to waivers even though he has enough accrued experience because it is during the season but after the trade deadline.

Quote

Once the waiver period starts each year through the trading deadline, a vested veteran — a player who has acquired four years of pension credit — is not subject to the waiver system if the club decides to release him. That means if a team decides to release a vested veteran, the league considers his contract to be terminated immediately and he is free to negotiate and sign with any other club. From the trading deadline through the end of the regular season, vested veterans are subject to the waiver process.

 

C'mon Chiefs, Rams, Saints ... pick him up. I want to see him get a ring just so the five alarm fire that is the front office and coaching staff in Washington can burn that much harder.

So now he's free to sign with a contender before the playoffs, right?

Excellent play by Swearinger to try to get a ring. He completely duped the Skins into releasing him.

Which playoff team could most use a bolster to their secondary?

Considering how garbage Chiefs defense is, may be they can use him

Lol, didn’t he make the pro bowl?

Edit: As an alternate 

Interesting question: if one of the safeties ahead of him decided not to participate/couldn't due to injury, would Swearinger replace them?

Yes. Why wouldn't he?  

Right now, he's not a roster and thus is not in the NFL? Usually, you wear the team's helmet during the game.

Alternate question: if he's picked up by an AFC team, would he go rep the NFC?
