You want a coach that holds players accountable?

'The Redskins cut D.J. Swearinger because for two years he established a clear pattern of criticizing coaches, teammates and the entire organization after losses.'

'Sources inside Redskins Park made clear that the team sat down with Swearinger multiple times to explain that the safety should not go to the media any more with criticisms about the team.' 

'Previous conversations had mentioned possible discipline for Swearinger, but this time, the staff inside the Ashburn headquarters felt they had no choice. The safety had already caused significant friction around the building, and with the intensified comments aimed directly at Mansuky, the staff felt they had no option but to release the Pro Bowl alternate.'

IMO, it's not like Gruden made some bold move here that sent a statement. It seems more like Swearinger forced their hand (finally) and left them no other alternative after 2 years of this behavior.

I know Arizona already signed him but we should have signed him . He would have a field day with our FO and coaching staff.
