Bears release CB Vasher

Football Betting Lines

03/17/2010 - Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears released long-time cornerback Nathan Vasher on Wednesday.

Vasher, who was a fourth-round pick by the Bears in 2004, has spent the last six seasons in Chicago. He signed a contract extension in 2007 that ran through 2012.

The 28-year-old struggled in recent seasons, playing in just 12 games in 2007-08 due to groin and wrist injuries before starting a career-low two contests in 2009. Vasher recorded only 13 tackles and one interception in limited action last season.

Vasher's best campaign came in 2005, when he earned a Pro Bowl selection after recording eight interceptions in 16 games. He also set an NFL record for longest play in league history -- a record that has since been broken -- when he returned a missed field goal 108 yards for a touchdown in 2006.

The release comes a day after the Bears signed cornerback Tim Jennings, who had spent the previous four seasons with Indianapolis. In 73 career games with Chicago, Vasher has 19 interceptions and 28 passes defensed.
