This makes total sense actually.

The Bears would only have to pay Arch's salary which is $595k and $1M the next two years. Compared to what they would have had to pay to get him last offseason, this is peanuts. And unlike the Skins, the Bears fans would probably praise their GM for this move. By waiting one year, they'll have saved the $10M in bonus money. Plus there is almost no risk since they could cut him at anytime with no deadcap penalty.

If the NFL trade deadline wasn't so damn early I really think this trade would have happened last year when Mike Brown went down. I'm not sure how much we can expect to get for the guy but I'd be happy with a water bottle at this point.
