A day after a damning report about the front-office culture of Washington’s NFL team, a former player is calling out ex-coach Jay Gruden.
New Orleans Saints safety D.J. Swearinger posted a text exchange he says he had with Gruden that appears to show the former Washington head coach challenging him to a fight. He published the exchange on Instagram with his own message that “they all need to be exposed.”
Swearinger played for Washington from 2017-18. He wrote that the exchange occurred after a 40-16 loss to the New York Giants over Swearinger’s comments in a postgame interview.
