Buying options cost me. Selling options receive money.

You are selling the option for someone else to force you into a swap as the fixed rate payer.

You would buy an option that would give you the right to force someone to let you be the fixed rate payer.

The ability and volatility is what makes the option worth more.

Same thing goes for puts but with payer swaptions.
