Why make that more difficult on ourselves by overpaying for an ILB who already has gone through a season-ending injury once before?
A LOT of free agent dough was spent this offseason. I don't think we need any more. It's not like we're acquiring Peyton Manning or anything like that, as good as Bishop is.

Yeah, but Hali's drops a ton after this year and I don't really expect that we'll keep Albert around after this year either. We're going to have a lot of cap space that clears up.
Besides, what good young players? You're talking about two guys - Berry and Houston. I guess Charles expires around then, but man, you're talking about offering a 2nd contract to a RB...that's a notoriously poor gamble.
I'd absolutely kick the tires. If he's thinking he's Julian Peterson I'd probably walk, but if we can get him for 3 years at market, I think he'd be an outstanding addition to a defense that's really starting to look pretty dangerous.
