According to Aaron Wilson, the Saints have signed S D.J. Swearinger to a one-year, $1.1 million deal.
Wilson will make a $1.05 million base salary and has a $50,000 bonus for making the roster Week 1.
Swearinger, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Texans back in 2013. He lasted just over two years in Houston before he was waived at the start of the 2015 season and later claimed off of waivers by the Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay cut Swearinger loose during the 2015 season and he eventually caught on with the Cardinals. The Redskins signed him to a three-year, $13.5 million contract back in 2017 but elected to waive him at the end of 2018.
Swearinger was claimed by the Cardinals but was again released in the middle of the 2019 season. He later signed on with the Raiders but waived again before catching on with the Saints.
In 2019, Swearinger has appeared in nine games for the Cardinals, Raiders and Saints, and recorded 49 tackles and three passes defended.
