Bears Release Archuleta
The Chicago Bears have released safety Adam Archuleta, becoming the second team in two years to give up on the former first-round draft choice.
Archuleta made 10 starts for the Bears last season after being obtained in a trade with the Washington Redskins last year. Archuleta spent one unproductive season with the Redskins after being signed as a high-priced free agent.
The Bears had tried to sign him in free agency before Archuleta signed with the Redskins and it was thought he might be able to revive his career in Chicago under Coach Lovie Smith, formerly his defensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams. Instead, Archuleta will be joining a fourth team in four seasons, having been with the Rams in 2005, the Redskins in '06 and the Bears in '07.

"Archuleta will be joining a fourth team in four seasons"
He will be? Is it in the Arena League?

Archuletta had plenty of chances, and certainly played the blame game against the Redskins when he came to the Bears. He looks great, but can't cover and can't seem to get his head into his job. Too bad for him. Buh-bye Adam. Unrelated - The Bears' locker room is probably filled with disenchantment, trading Thomas Jones to start Benson was stupid, and their QB situation is a laughing stock. Buh-bye 2008 Bears.

For a guy who can't seem to make it in the NFL, Archuleta sure banked a lot of Snyder's money. Good for Arch Deluxe!
