Former South Carolina Gamecocks football player DJ Swearinger said he was called into Jay Gruden’s office and released by the Washington Redskins. He had been critical of the team.
Former South Carolina Gamecocks football star D. J. Swearinger has never been shy with his opinions, and through this season with the Washington Redskins, has been critical of the team at points.
On Monday, it has him out of a job.
The Washington Redskins informed the former South Carolina great he was going to be released Monday. Swearinger made the announcement during an appearance on 106.7 FM.
Swearinger called the move a “slap in the face.”
“I don’t regret nothing, because I know I gave 100 percent from my heart,” Swearinger said during the interview.
Swearinger was critical of Washington coaching staff following Saturday’s 25-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans, questioning the team’s game plan and saying he watches more film than the coaches.
