Swearinger was cut by the Cardinals in September after starting the team’s first four games of the season.
The seven-year veteran out of South Carolina struggled for Arizona. Swearinger was supposed to play a big role in the team’s secondary but allowed a passer rating of 145.3 when he was targeted, per Pro Football Focus.
