D.J. Swearinger might get cut by the Texans. He irritated the coaches in Houston and had some minor off-field issues, IIRC.
SS will not be with the Texans in 2015.
The Texans are trying to find a trade partner for Swearinger, the No. 57 overall pick in 2013, as we speak. If they can't salvage a sixth- or seventh-rounder for him, he'll be waived. Swearinger is a name because he takes no prisoners as one of the league's biggest (and most undisciplined) hitters, but he's also brutal against the run and nothing special in coverage. Swearinger is not a fit in the culture Bill O'Brien is trying to build in Houston. May 11 - 9:18 AM
He had some good games as a rookie in 2013.
He seemed to do some good things early in 2014:
10/27/14 - SS D.J. Swearinger intercepted his first pass this season, giving the Texans 17 turnovers, including seven interceptions. They forced 11 turnovers last season.
09/16/14 - SS D.J. Swearinger is off to a splendid start. He's a big reason the Texans are unbeaten and have allowed only 20 points, fewest in the NFL. No player on the team has made more big plays than Swearinger, who has been involved in three of the six turnovers, two that saved touchdowns and one that set up a touchdown. "As a DB, everybody has the ability to play, but he's got an instinctive skill, and it shows in his play," veteran safety Danieal Manning said. "A lot of young players don't have that. They develop it later on as they get experience. DJ has it now. He's got a real knack for the ball."
09/14/14 - SS D.J. Swearinger forced a fumble and recovered a fumble Sunday against Oakland, but he left the game in the fourth quarter with an elbow injury. Texans coach Bill O'Brien had no update after the game on Swearinger's injury.
09/11/14 - SS D.J. Swearinger is coming off the best game of his career. He sets the tempo for the defense with his physical style. He's an emotional player who does a lot of trash talking, which he needs to temper. Against the Commanders, he had eight tackles, one sack, two hits on the quarterback and a forced fumble at the Texans' 8-yard line.
