Bears cut Adam Archuleta
This guys career has crashed and burned. Who's next Lloyd?
BEARS CUT ADAM ARCHULETA Posted by Michael David Smith on May 6, 2008, 6:26 p.m. 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.

In all seriousness we frown on people suggesting the veteran minimum. Especially considering that 1) Archuletta is set for life in terms of money 2) Archuletta has a strained relationship with the franchise that would take some major butt kissing to repair. IE Washington is the last place he would sign. 3) Maybe you already up to speed and the vet min comment was a joke and in that case I look like a complete jackass.

Let's run through some of the opinions he posted since joining -Bring Adam Archuleta back to compete for a safety spot -Trade Betts to Detroit. Pick up Shaun Alexander or Kevin Jones -Goof Ball Gibbs ruined this team (along with Spurrier) trading for useless players such as...Adam Archuleta -Give LaVar a camp invite -Why not LeMar Marshall too -While we're at it, sign Trotter to a vet min deal or give him a 2 year deal Fascinating

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
Sounds like a great idea, let's bring back the one player most responsible for our deplorable 2006 defense.
