Swearinger has gone from one non-playoff team to another.
A second-round pick of the Texans in 2013, Swearinger was waived after two years in Houston.
The Buccaneers gave him a landing spot until November, at which time Tampa Bay released him.
The Cardinals eventually signed Swearinger to the practice squad.
He replaced Tyrann Mathieu on the roster after Mathieu suffered a December ACL tear.
In 2016, Swearinger played in all 16 games, starting 12.
Washington signed Swearinger as a free agent in 2017.
Signed through 2019, Swearinger has a $4.25 million salary plus a $250,000 roster bonus next year.
Arizona had dibs over all other teams in the waiver priority.
