    Good trade for the Redskins. Archuleta was worthless for them.

    Good trade on both sides. The Redskins need any draft picks they can get, and Archuleta will be a solid insurance to Brown if he goes down again.

    What about that huge contract the skins gave him though didn't he become the highest paid safety last year? Or was there most likely sumthin in the contract that said if he sucked he got nothin?

    I thought the Redskins thought draft picks were worthless.

    ya good for both sides. The trade also will make Chicagos defence even more solid. Maybe he just sucked in washington cause Washington sucks. Being a bear will make the man shine.

    Apparently not as worthless as Adam Archuleta.

    they paid Archuleta like $10 million and he did nothing for them. He was more of a negative than a positive last season because he barely played and he was pissed.

    The Redskins signing of Archuleta last year was ridiculous because he didn't fit in their defense. That's why the coaching staff didn't play him much.

    Shows you how bad their coaching staff's approach is if they can't identify what player fits their system before signing him.

    Something was weird there. I wonder if Joe Gibbs had any say at all in the signing.

    On top of that Archuleta really wanted to go to Chicago last year. The Redskins just through a lot of money at him and he would be a fool to refuse. The Redskins do not know how to run a team what so ever and I think this is gonna end up being a great deal for Chicago.
