After less than a day of signing cornerback Tim Jennings, the Bears released cornerback Nathan Vasher.
Vasher was a fourth-round draft pick from Texas became a starter midway through his rookie season in 2004 and was a Pro Bowler the next year when he made a team-high eight interceptions and helped bolster one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL.
Vasher was dubbed, "The Interceptor" and was one of the most prolific corners in the NFL...when healthy. Vasher suffered a groin injury and several others after the Superbowl season in 2006 and was never the same again.
Vasher was benched after week 1 when he gave up the game winning 50- yard touchdown to Greg Jennings. Never really saw the field after that, but just want to put this out there. In week 5 against the Falcons, Vasher was put in only one play the whole game. Results, interception.
Vasher will always be beloved by Bears fans and should be an asset to any team when he's healthy. But injuries made Vasher a bad investment for the Bears.
First McKie? Then Vasher? Who's next in line?
Stay tuned.
