[CBFF] CT: Vasher joins list of angry Bears

[Jim Ferolie]

If this were next year and he'd gone to the Pro Bowl twice, he'd have a 
case. But this? No. He's getting $425,000 a year and got almost $400,000 for 
a signing bonus. It's not like he's on some contract where he can barely 
feed his family.

He can go ahead and protest for the future as long as he doesn't miss camp. 
Then he'd lose my support.
