The Houston Texans have released safety D.J. Swearinger, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
Swearinger was a second-round pick in 2013 out of South Carolina and totaled 145 tackles and three interceptions in 22 starts for Houston. He did struggle last year and it was reported last month that the Texans were actively looking for a team to trade Swearinger to.
The Texans now have just 44 percent of their 2013 draft class under contract, which is the third lowest in the league.
