Possible kick return specialist??? I think it would be an upgrade and the organization could definitely afford to sign him for a year or two.

I agree. Hell he used to be a decent corner too and could definitely fill in Dante Wesleys role nicely

Edit: I meant as a fourth corner, we got a gunner the other day from San Fran

Double Edit: If Marshall goes, he would then be a very good fit

He's not nearly as good as what he use to be but I'd take him for a 2 year cheap deal just for depth and STs.

Yeah, it's true his production has declined the last three years in the league(but to be fair his decline started when he missed 10 games in '07 after "injuring" his groin...OUCH)

Maybe a short-term contract with the Panthers is what he needs to revive his career.

he'd be a real project and he'd have to come cheap. seems like in addition to the frequent injuries he has some issues to work through.

Vasher was considered the team's longterm solution at cornerback when he was signed to a five-year contract extension before the 2007 season. His play declined soon after signing the deal, which a source close to the former Pro Bowl performer attributed to a "lack of confidence." Another team source said Vasher, who has 19 career interceptions, but had no more than one in any of the past three seasons, was suffering from a lack of "aggressiveness." link

Less than 24 hours after signing veteran cornerback Tim Jennings to a two-year contract, the Bears bid goodbye Wednesday to the player coach Lovie Smith dubbed "The Interceptor" when he burst onto the scene with 13 interceptions in his first two seasons.

The former 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 for one of the best defenses in the NFL. But after the 2006 Super Bowl season, Vasher's play dipped dramatically. Not before the popular teammate had cashed in with a $28 million, five-year extension.

Vasher, 28, earned the bulk of that money in 2007 and 2008 when injuries limited him to only 12 games. A groin muscle tear in 2007 in Week 3 vs. Dallas ruined that season. He required wrist surgery the next season. Vasher had bulked up to play the run better and lost some of his quickness. Later, he lost his confidence. link

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
