It's been a tough month for Washington's NFL franchise. Just days after it announced it was , published an expos on what several former employees claim was a . The drama didn't stop there, as safety D.J. Swearinger recently posted a screenshot of a text conversation with then-Washington head coach Jay Gruden when they worked together in 2018.It was known that the two were not always on the same page during Swearinger's 31 games in Washington, and Francisco Lindor Jersey his time ended with a mysterious release on Christmas Eve. Swearinger called the roster move a "slap in the face" at the time, and on Friday, he revisited his tumultuous relationship with Gruden by posting an alleged text exchange where his former head coach was apparently fed up with him.Warning, . Swearinger wrote along with the exchange on Instagram, "Imagine getting a text like this from your head coach." He indicated that Gruden was upset because he'd been told that Swearinger had said something about him in an interview after that night's blowout lo s to the Giants, "but when he watched the interview he realized that person was lying."Swearinger finished by saying, "I was gonna give the man a pa s, but after all that's going on in that organization with women! They all need to be exposed." The decision to release Swearinger at the time was very surprising considering he was a leader on Washington's defense and a Pro Bowl alternate."Discu sions were private," Gruden said about Swearinger's release at the time. "I had multiple discu sions with him for previous instances and at the end of the day we thought as an organization that it was Zack Wheeler Jersey best for us to part ways. Obviously he wasn't happy, he voiced his displeasure many, many times and at the end of the Travis D'Arnaud Jersey day we thought it was best for him to let him go."Swearinger had made critical remarks about several members of the coaching staff in interviews, and Gruden clearly had problems with that, saying the safety had "repeat offenses." "We have had discu sions like this before in the past and it's ultimately my fault, obviously I did not make it clear to certain people that we don't talk about our busine s to the media and for me to allow that to creep in, ultimately it's my fault," Gruden said at the time. "D.J. did some great things here without a doubt, we wish him nothing but the best, but at the end of the day that's something that this franchise or any franchise in my mind can't afford to have, so we moved on."At the end of the day, you can't have that, I think everybody will learn from it, grow from it, at the end of the day when you work for a company or you work for a team, it's best that you try to be positive with your remarks."Swearinger himself was confused with Washington's decision, and actually s Grant Paulsen and Pete Medhurst moments after meeting with coach Gruden. "How'd the meeting go? Neil Walker Jersey " Paulsen asked."I was released," Swearinger said."You were by the ?" Paulsen said."Yeah," Swearinger confirmed."You're kidding," said Paulsen."Nah, I'm not kidding at all about that," Swearinger said. "I was like oh wow, why? And he didn't say anything. I gue s he didn't have a response. He just wanted to release me and that was that. I don't have words for this. I had a Pro Bowl year. I was a captain in Year One, and this year I thought I improved on everything and I get Jose Reyes Jersey a slap in the face and get released. I gave it my all and put my heart into it every single week to do the best I could. I gue s it says a lot about the organization."Swearinger was critical of Gruden during this interview since he was no longer a part of the franchise, and attacked how Washington conducted its practices and the work ethic of the coaching staff.After Gruden was fired as Washington's head coach in the middle of last season, he signed on to be the new offensive coordinator for the in January. Some of his former players have been very outspoken about the troubling environment in Washington -- which apparently was le s than pleasant both on the field and in the front office.
