Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

Coaches and players were both responsible. Overall a terrible effort. And even when AA was used "correctly" in St. Louis he was never more than a decent player.

Another reason Chicago wanted AA is becuase they just let Todd Johnson go via free agency, and Mike Brown is very injury prone. They needed a safety badly, which is probably why they didn't wait to pull the trigger on a trade.

I can't believe that you guys got a sixth round pick for Archuleta, and rid yourselves of his contract.

Good work.
