Redskins cut ties with safety D.J. Swearinger

The Washington Redskins released safety D.J. Swearinger, two days after he ripped defensive coordinator Greg Manusky's playcalling in a loss at Tennessee.

Swearinger first told 106.7 The Fan about his release during his paid weekly appearance; sources within the organization confirmed the move. Swearinger said coach Jay Gruden told him he was released in a brief meeting Monday morning.

The team announced that Swearinger was waived later Monday.

"He just said it was the third time I've been in his office and we're going to release you," Swearinger told co-host Grant Paulsen.
