The Chargers made another free-agent move yesterday, and it involved another cornerback.

While Antoine Cason remains the likely replacement for the departed Antonio Cromartie, the Chargers are close to signing former Pro Bowler Nathan Vasher, sources said yesterday.

Vasher, 28, was released by the Chicago Bears earlier this month. He is expected to provide depth for the Chargers.

He has started just 11 games over the past three seasons because of a variety of injuries. But he had 16 interceptions from 2004-06. With the Chargers, he will be reunited with defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and secondary coach Steve Wilks, who coached Vasher in Chicago.

The Chargers’ only free-agent signings this offseason have been cornerback Donald Strickland, a journeyman who is expected to challenge Steve Gregory for the nickel job, and running back Marcus Mason, who has 32 career carries in one NFL season.

Done deal:

Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times writes that Vasher will get $4.5 million over two years. It's uncertain how much guaranteed money is in the deal.

Certainly a good fill in for Cromartie. Nice sign by the Chargers.

Can't be any worse than the overrated piece of trash that is Antonio Cromartie.

Quentin Jammer and Nathan Vasher? Best secondary ever.

It's a good move, Antonio was a bit overrated but hey..

Vasher is a way better player in Cro. He doesn't blow coverage like Cromartie did constantly.
