Chandler Jones and D.J. Swearinger

You might be asking if I have lost my mind.  Before you do that, you might want to ask how Chandler Jones and D.J. Swearinger felt on Monday in the meeting room.

Arians was not very happy with either one of them and it wasn’t for their performance.  Well, it wasn’t for their during the play performance.  It was the party they threw during the dead ball.

Both Jones and Swearinger were called out by Arians for their unsportsmanlike penalty for celebrating.  Arians didn’t like their activity one bit and he let the media know about it.

"One of the things that has not happened around here and will not happen again – or you won’t be here"

Arians was referring to their after the play celebration that caused a penalty.  There is zero-tolerance for that.  Too much is at mistake.

While I find it very difficult to believe that the team would release Jones over such a thing, Swearinger had better watch out.  He is expendable.  Something tells me we won’t be seeing that again.
