Bears release S Adam Archuleta
AP, May 6, 2008
The Chicago Bears released veteran strong safety Adam Archuleta on Tuesday, ending a brief and disappointing tenure with the team. Archuleta, 30, broke a hand early last season and started in just 10 of the 15 games in which he appeared. He lost his starting job to Brandon McGowan and finished the season on special teams. ...More

Bears Team Report May 9, 2008

Despite a lot of talk to the contrary, the Bears shouldn't even consider cutting Cedric Benson until training camp and, if he's healthy, they shouldn't cut him regardless of the outcome of last Saturday night's arrest for boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest.

The Bears should treat Benson's arrest as what it is—a misdemeanor. Regular people don't usually lose their jobs over a misdemeanor, even if they're coming off a bad year. And in this case, there is considerable difference of opinion as to whether Benson resisted or was the object of overzealous police work. He has denied that he was drunk and that he resisted arrest.

In this booking mug released by the Austin Police Dept., Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson is shown after he was arrested Saturday, May 3, 2008 in Austin, Texas. Benson allegedly failed a sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat, then resisting arrest before being hit with pepper spray and dragged ashore by officers.  Benson faces charges of boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest after the incident Saturday night on Lake Travis, Travis County Sheriff's Department spokesman Roger Wade said.
