REPORT: SS Swearinger claimed by Bucs on waivers

[Gallagher]

Nah, as much as we need SS help that guy hits more like Vontaze Burfict than Luke Kuechly.

The thread title is wrong, Swearinger has not been released. He has told he won't be back, but they're still trying to trade him:

Keep seeing Swearinger is being released, that is not accurate.

There has been a deal in place for Swearinger since last week. Still hearing a player is coming in return. #Texans

if we hadn't just drafted superbowl mvp shaq thompson i might be inclined to pull the trigger, but at this point you'd be taking snaps from rookies to play a guy whose problems clearly outweighed his upside.

 

i don't see it happening.

[PhillyB]

unless they'll take brunkley barton for him straight up, then fug it

[Roebling]

Like someone else said, what's the point of signing all these high character vets if with no one to mentor?

 

I guess that entire point is debatable. From my point of view, you want people with a willingness to improve themselves. If this guy is one of those guys, then of course, let's go after him. It just seems as though this guy has displayed a pattern of troublesome behavior. Why introduce that to the environment of the team? If our guys sign off on him, let's rock and roll. 

 

I concede you have a valid point. Just two different views.

Philly Brown said Lester will be an all-pro next year so we dont need swearinger.

Josh Norman said Greg Hardy would play here for free.

[Nick_81]

What does that mean?

Concussions...  lots and lots of concussions.

Hardy could of actually wanted to play here for free but our front office still wouldn't want him on our team.

"His heart is in Carolina," Norman told ESPN. "I had a talk with him. He wants to be here. He don't want to go nowhere else. He wants to be in Carolina. He even told me he would play for free. That's what he told me verbatim out of his mouth."

[Cam's New Arm]

Eh

[Bartin]

Officially waived. Doubt we put in a claim and doubt he makes it to 25th in the waiver order anyway.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

@josephperson: Told #Panthers are kicking tires on safety D.J. Swearinger, waived by #Texans today. Lot of teams would have to pass on him to get to CAR.

Panthers interested, according to Person.
