Bears | Archuleta an option?

John Mullin, of the Chicago Tribune, reports should the <A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/37/nfl">Washington Redskins decide to part ways with S Adam Archuleta this offseason, the Chicago Bears might express interest in the veteran safety. Last offseason, the Redskins outbid the Bears for the services of Archuleta, who played under Bears head coach Lovie Smith while Smith was still a member of the St. Louis Rams coaching staff. A new rule allows Archuleta to hit the market at the outset of free agency and the Redskins will likely release him in early March.

Whats this new rule?

you're allowed to release two players early and have their cap hit handled as if they were released june 1st. It's good for the players, since they can be on the market when the money is still there.

does this rule strictly benefit the players? or is there something that benefits the team as well?
