WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Washington Redskins on Thursday traded Adam Archuleta to the Chicago Bears, one year after making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history.

The 29-year-old Archuleta earned $5.6 million last year but was benched for the second half of the season except for special teams duty.

Archuleta became the symbol for the team's disappointing 5-11 season in 2006 after owner Daniel Synder brought in a host of well-paid but under-performing players.

"We wish things could have worked out better with Adam, but we feel the trade is positive for him, the Bears and the Redskins," Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said in a statement.

Chicago picked up Archuleta in exchange for their sixth-round draft choice in 2007.

The Redskins gave Archuleta a $5 million signing bonus and owed him another guaranteed payment of $5 million this month, the Washington Post reported.

Archuleta played the first five seasons of his NFL career with the St. Louis Rams after being drafted in the first round with the 20th overall pick.

Hmm, Bears still making moves on Defense, also resign probowl o-line man...


Addressing their need for a veteran defensive tackle, the Chicago Bears reached agreement with unrestricted free agent Anthony Adams on Sunday evening, ESPN.com has learned.


Safety Tyrone Carter, who played for the Steelers the last three seasons, has signed a free-agent contract with the Bears, according to ESPN.com's John Clayton. It's a three-year deal worth $2.4 million, including a $280,000 signing bonus.



The Bears on Sunday agreed to terms with left guard Ruben Brown on a one-year contract. ''It's totally blowing my mind,'' Brown said. ''Just because three years ago everybody in the NFL said I was done. I never felt like I was finished. Thank God for the Bears sticking with me. They've got Terrence [Metcalf], they've got [Roberto] Garza and they can draft someone. They could have told me to take a hike. This is total respect, what they did for me."
