ASHBURN, Va. -- With safety Adam Archuleta on the way out, the
Washington Redskins signed free agent Omar Stoutmire to take his place
Wednesday.

Stoutmire, a 10-year veteran, played for the Redskins in 2005 and
spent last season with New Orleans. He joins Vernon Fox and Reed
Doughty as the safeties expected to compete for playing time behind
starters Sean Taylor and Pierson Prioleau.

Stoutmire has also played with Dallas, the New York Jets and New York Giants.

The Redskins agreed Tuesday night to trade the disgruntled Archuleta
to Chicago for a sixth-round draft pick. The teams were expected to
complete the trade Wednesday, but the announcement was delayed until
Thursday while the Bears arranged for Archuleta take a physical.
