Depth signing with experience.

Trying to connect dots here, I do recall rookie Chauncey G Johnson getting concussed on Monday night. Hope he's ok.

Like Rezz said, Swearinger is big hitter. When this guy tackles opposing player usually doesn't get extra yards just extra pain.

This from last year...

https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41037459-4

Redskins safety D.J. Swearinger called Saints receiver Michael Thomas a "clown." Swearinger and the other defensive backs complained about what Thomas would do after the whistle, such as hitting them in the leg and other stuff. "He's just a clown; just clowning," Swearinger said. "Just doing little petty stuff after the play. Petty stuff after the play the referees would call if this wasn't history night for Drew Brees. But we had to fight against the refs and all that, too."

Yeah I think this will be a short stay for Swearinger.

All I know about DJ is he won’t back down from a fight. I remember him punking Terrelle Pryor in practice. Hilarious

If he thinks the refs where showing us favoritism he cant be very bright.

I don’t know about this signing. He reminds me of junior galette. I don’t think his personality going to mesh with the other players. We don’t need a divided locker room

Payton will lock him in a closet if he doesn't behave. I think this is a good depth signing but I'm not sure he's a good fit for this classy organization.

Swearinger will not be a distraction in NO. He's been in losing locker rooms & franchises over the years. Now? On a team with strong direction & LEADERSHIP on both sides of the ball. Trust me, he'll perform to his best ability when he knows what's at stake. We have playoff games and a Super Bowl to win.

Roll up your sleeves .. time to go to work.

I agree but it looks like Payton is going the Billechek route (not a bad thing) by signing troubled players to try and get the most out of them before sending them on their way.
Normally I wouldn’t go for this but at this point in the season it can’t hurt. Looks like he’s pretty damn committed to getting another trophy.

Give him a chance...he’s been in dysfunction the last 2 years. A different culture can do a world of good.

This is a huge upgrade over TJ Green and Hampton

None other than Jean Laffite. Helped protect the mouth of the Mississippi.

Honestly, I think he’s a steal. I didn’t know he was still out there.

This might be needed more than any of us thought. I can't believe that he was available as talented as he is. This shored up the safety spot and allows us to look at our options next year when working up new contracts as well as keeping talent on the field if a starter goes down.

Re: Saints signed S DJ Swearinger and released S T.J. Green
 
We’re the fourth team he’s been on in the last year... why can’t people believe he was available?

He’s graded out really high over the last 3 years.

83 - 2016
73 - 2017
79 - 2018

I would think at the very least he’d be on a roster as a back up. Maybe teams are scared of his style of play since he’s a big hitter and the game is moving away from that.
