Former Washington security DJ Swearinger calls Jay Gruden over alleged text: “They must all be exposed”

Former Washington security DJ Swearinger spoke on Friday of his experience playing for his former team, saying “they must all be exposed.”

Swearinger, who now plays for the New Orleans Saints, shared a screenshot on social media of an aggressive conversation he says he had with former head coach Jay Gruden following a loss to the New York Giants in 2018.

“Want to play? Let’s play …”, we read in a text, allegedly by Gruden.

“When [sic] face to face, man to man tomorrow or tonight if you like, ”Swearinger replied. “And what do you mean by playing ?!”

Gruden then agreed to meet, to which Swearinger replied, “We’ll let the cooler heads reign tomorrow at 10 am.”

Swearinger said the showdown erupted after Gruden was incorrectly told by someone that security spoke badly about his coach in an interview following the 40-16 loss to the Giants.

“… when he watched the interview he realized that this person was lying and he actually agreed with everything I said,” Swearinger wrote in the post.

“Soooo as a player, what would you look like @ your coach for the rest of the season ?! How can you motivate yourself to play for a guy who speaks less to you than a man ?! Being the man that I am I couldn’t be myself after that and that’s what brought me to my last interview in which I said a few things that were true but not on the right stage or platform. “

The problems for Washington began when the team faced increasing pressure to remove the Redskins name and logo from the negative connotations associated with the symbol. Shortly after majority owner Dan Snyder announced the name change, a bombed-out Washington Post report was released detailing several allegations of sexual harassment made by 15 former employees against the organization.
