The Chicago Bears announced today that they have released safety Adam Archuleta after one year with the team.
Last March the Bears traded their 2007 sixth-round draft pick to the Redskins in exchange for Archuleta, who had just finished a disappointing season in Washington. He played in 15 games for the Bears, starting 10. (The Redskins used the pick to draft quarterback Jordan Palmer.)
Archuleta had his best seasons with the Rams from 2001 to 2005, with Lovie Smith, now the Bears’ head coach, as his defensive coordinator. When Archuleta signed with Chicago, it looked like reuniting with Smith would make it the right fit.
But the Bears apparently felt that Archuleta was expendable because they like the other safeties on the roster, including Mike Brown, Brandon McGowan, Danieal Manning, Kevin Payne and rookie fourth-round draft choice Craig Steltz.
The 30-year-old Archuleta will now be an unrestricted free agent.

Vinny Cerrato (Beancounter of the Inept) was okay with giving him a 6 year $30M contract that carried a $10M signing bonus. If I’m Archuleta, that’s my first call.

Archuleta sucks. The end. We had to say by by. We shouldn’t have let Chris Harris go.
We went from having an abundance of safeties to garbage. C’mon Mike Brown stay healthy!

I guess advertising on PFT can make a player a lot of money, but won’t make you better

Does this mean we don’t have to see any more of those adds on PFT hawking the “Freak of Workouts” of “Workout Freak” vidoes?

Always liked Arch when he was with the Rams but The Danny was insane to offer him that contract. Even die hard ‘Skins fans here in D.C. couldn’t defend that one.

I completely agree. For college ball we went through the workout he was using. It was rediculous.

Adam Archuleta: “I won’t, I promise. Hey, can I borrow 20 bucks?”

I think its funny how easy Florio went on him. Most people he would have mocked them as he announced their being cut. Come on Florio, is it really that easy to buy you off?

Uh, had Florio did that he would have put a couple jokes in there. But MDS wrote it and he doesn’t do the jokes.
