The New Orleans Saints bolstered their defense with another veteran presence Sunday.
Safety DJ Swearinger agreed to return to the franchise after signing a one-year, $1.1 million deal, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. After signing with the team last December, Swearinger, 28, appeared in the season finale against the Panthers.
He also played four games for the Cardinals in 2019 before being released on September 30 and joining the Raiders in November where he played another four-game stretch.
In those combined nine games, Swearinger made seven starts and recorded 49 tackles and three passes defended. He played at least 33 defensive snaps in each contest.
The Saints are Swearinger's seventh team since being drafted in the second round out of South Carolina in 2013.
Elsewhere around the NFL on Sunday:
» The New York Jets have agreed to terms with former Colts cornerback Pierre Desir on a one-year deal, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, per a source. Desir was cut by the Colts on Saturday. Rapoport added that the 29-year-old's contract is worth up to $5.5 million, via an informed source.
» With the signing of Tom Brady, the Jameis Winston era in Tampa Bay seemed all but done. A day after he said goodbye to the Buccaneers, the organization returned the favor. All signs continue to point to the former No. 1 overall pick being on a new team ahead of the 2020 season.
