Bears interested in Archuleta

What are we likely to get in exchange for him? Probably not much because we need to unload him much worse than they need to get him. Nevertheless, something may be better than nothing. Possibly a late draft pick?

I'd be happily surprised if we got a 5th rounder and stunned if we got anything higher.

I agree with that. It might be the best of many bad options. I'd like to keep him but what the hell do you do with a safety who has no cover skills? You can't blitz him every down. You can't make him a LB. We have to cut our losses.

5th rounder? They won't even give us a green parking pass for him.

If they trade for him, they get him under his current deal with 6 years remaining and are liable for no part of his signing bonus (which we would take the remaining 6/7 of as dead cap). If he sucks there, the dead cap penalty for cutting him would be a whopping 0 for the Bears.

Didnt the NFL pass a rule recently 'outlawing' that kind of a move? If im not mistaken it was implemented bc. of Lavar paying all that money back to us.


Yes. He can't give any money back. They put the new rule in after Lavar paid to get out of DC.

There's a ham sandwich somewhere with Archuleta's name on it and it's headed the Redskins' way.

heck, I'd take the slice of Kraft cheese food on that sandwich

I don't think that would be wise at all.

First, if the Redskins get rid of him they will flat drop him.

Second, why the hell would anyone want to touch that contract with a 10 foot pole? After the Redskins drop him, they can sign him in the neighborhood of the league minimum. Around the league, he is viewed as an injured "never was".

If we let him go we still have the cap hit so why not try and get someone we want in a trade.
Mike Brown for Arch???

We might be able to get the Mike Brown that used to run FEMA.
