The Chicago Bears released former Pro Bowl cornerback Nathan Vasher one day after signing veteran cornerback Tim Jennings to a two year contract. Vasher had fallen out of favor with the coaching staff, who slowly reduced his role to mop up duty, recording 15 tackles, one interception, and one pass defensed .

Vasher was a fourth round pick in 2004, and has started 46 games in six seasons with the Chicago Bears. He had a career high eight interceptions in 2005.

He immediately becomes the top available unrestricted free agent cornerback and he will likely find a starting role somewhere else this off-season.
