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 Commanders in exchange for Archuleta, who had just finished a disappointing season in Washington. He played in 15 games for the Bears, starting 10. (The Commanders 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.

Wow... and just three short years ago he was going to be part of the greatest safety tandem in the history of the NFL...

When he came out of Arizona State, lots of people compared him to another former Sun Devil who made the transition to NFL safety.

Archuleta fell a little short, huh WG?

How much would it take for us to sign him?

We could pair him with Roy at safety and his pass defense metrics would be stellar, since QB's would throw at Archuleta all the time.

Don't feel too sorry for him... have you seen his wife?

When I think of Archuleta I think of how he was a unknown until he went to "speed camp" are rose in the draft to be a bust.
