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.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
