Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

"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!
