Good work, front offiice. You're forgiven for signing him.

Seriously though, who could've predicted him turning from a weightroom monster to a marshmallow Peep after putting the burgandy and gold on? We WERE all excited when we signed him, helped by all of the articles about his work ethic and physique.

I'm glad this is over with. I wish him good luck, except for against us.

Just cause the guy is a workout freak doesn't mean he can play football. I work out all the time but I can't cover Jason Witten. And apparently neither can AA.

I know that, but that was was one of the main "selling points" and we all bought into it.

It's all about speed and Arch is slow...very slow!

I believe the saying goes "looks like Tarzan plays like Jane".

I would've given D'Bears a 6th rounder to take AA too! Oh, I get it...........
Wow, did we make out with this deal!

RobH4413 · 03-21-2007, 11:51 AM

The real question now is, When does AA run to ESPN and whine and bitch about how terrible he was treated?

I think given his history of (supposed) bitching to sportswriters... we'll see some backlash for this one.

EDIT: didn't see this

"Safety Adam Archuleta, a free agent bust in 2006, also isn't going anywhere barring the unlikely event of a trade with Chicago, which wanted him before he signed with Washington. Archuleta's $5 million guaranteed bonus for 2007 is due tomorrow."

See the Wash Times article on the Warpath for the link entitled "Gibbs.."

This quote says it all to me. The trade seemed unlikely but they got it done. Compare this to the Coles trade in which we got Moss (an upgrade) but we ate all the cap space. For arch, we managed to get a pick plus they're picking up the 5mil tab!
