LAKE FOREST, Ill. –- The Chicago Bears released veteran safety Adam Archuleta on Tuesday.

Archuleta appeared in 15 contests for the Bears in 2007 with 10 starts at strong safety, ranking eighth on the team with 64 tackles. He added three tackles for loss, two sacks, one interception, one fumble recovery and five special teams tackles.

Originally drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the first round (20th overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft, the Arizona State product spent his first five NFL seasons with St. Louis, the initial three under the tutelage of then Rams defensive coordinator Lovie Smith. Archuleta joined the Washington Redskins in 2006 before being traded to the Bears in 2007 for a sixth-round pick. He has started 86 of 103 career games played in the NFL with 18 sacks, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries. His 18 sacks are the most by an NFL safety since 2001.
