Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

we probably would not have cut him he we couldnt trade him this yr.. see how he would have played out this yr and then decide what to do with him next yr

Lovie has some weird man crush on him I think.

glad this mess is over, and that we get an extra pick to add some depth to the squad hopefully

But why does Chicago make this deal? Wasn't it clear that we were going to release AA? Were they SO worried that someone else was going to snatch him up? I don't get that, and so I applaud the FO for getting anything here. (Of course, that just highlights what a terrible move this was in the first place...)

Good question. Why did the Redskins trade for Brunell when the Jags were clearly going to cut him? Why did the Dolphins trade for Harrington? Why did the Jets trade for Ramsey? Why did the Bears trade for Arch? Obstensibly the reason is to get the player on the team and learning the plays long before training camp rolls around. But there must be more to it than just that.

Sign Ken Hamlin to replace AA before the cowboys do.

Only problem with Hamlin is that he's a hard hitting run stopper kinda like Taylor, and not that great in coverage. I like him though. I think the Cowboys are hoping they can draft my boy Reggie Nelson from Florida...

We will now see if it was the coaching, or the player. If he goes to da Bears and becomes an all pro, heads have to roll.

good riddance. he sucked donkey balls.
Dallas Sucks.

I'm also seeing all over extreme skins that we have resigned Omar Stoutmire to a 1 year deal. Has anyone seen this with a actual source?

Yeah that's true. It's at the end of the Arch story. Don't know what to make of that move really.

I'd like to know exactly how the contract parameters work out. Does his bonus not apply now and just the already bonus money or what? I guess we'll need clarifcation on how this deal was executed. Bravo for getting something here. I tend to agree with Tripp that'd it'd have been nice to keep him around use him better but I think his BS attitude and probable media leaking meant it couldn't work.

On that note I agree he probably had reason to be perturbed but he also acted entirely unprofessional from what it sounds like. I think the only thing I'll remember about him is that he seemed to be a big baby. Oh and he couldn't cover a bed with a sheet.

Yeah that's true. It's at the end of the Arch story. Don't know what to make of that move really.

I guess just to sure up some depth behind PP while getting somebody with some knowledge of the system since the latter seems to be top priority. It's a damn shame they couldnt bring back Clark instead. But hell with all the homecomings I guess clark isnt out of the picture.
