The odd situation regarding former Houston Texans second-round pick D.J. Swearinger took another turn on Monday.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the starting safety was informed by Houston that he will not return to the team in 2015. The club had apparently tried to trade Swearinger, but there weren’t any takers. This means that an outright release is probably in the cards.
Pretty much confirming that he will not be returning to the Texans, Swearinger said his goodbyes on social media, via Instagram.
The talent is still there, so it’s pretty interesting that no team has expressed an interest in the young defensive back. Should he be released, that will likely change.
