Packers preparing to release Desmond Bishop

Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop racked up 218 tackles and eight sacks in two years as a starter for Green Bay. Now the Packers and Bishop could be going their separate ways.

According to Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com, the Packers intend to release Bishop if they can’t restructure his contract or work out a trade.

Bishop has been with the Packers since 2007 and earned a starting job with the team in 2010. He started 25 games over two seasons and posted a career high 115 tackles in 2011. A hamstring injury last preseason forced him to miss all of last year and Bishop has yet to be able to take part in any of the Packers offseason workouts. He was held out of OTAs and the team’s mandatory mini-camp last week.

Bishop said he is close to 100-percent and was looking to get back on the field soon. That field may no longer reside in Wisconsin.

It appears unlikely that Bishop would accept a contract restructure. Bishop came out and said he had his sights on being the league’s defensive player of the year. Someone with that belief in their ability isn’t going to accept a contract restructure just because of an injury. It addition to reports the Packers were seeking to trade Bishop before the draft, it appears a parting of ways may have been inevitable.

He also had a really good 2010 season, but he was a god damn huge force in 2011.

The Packers have spent far too much time trying to justify that draft slot. Hawk is atrocious.

mcaj22 · 06-17-2013, 08:24 PM

Way to make 75 percent of your list rushbackers.

name 10 MLBers, which was what everyone in this thread has said. He was a top 10 middle linebacker 2 years ago. This is a fact, accept it.

**BossChief** · 06-17-2013, 08:33 PM

Post 37 is what I responded to. That was just a quick 10, if we are talking about linebackers in general, he is probably close to cracking the top 25...Maybe even top 20.

As a MLB/ILB, I agree that he is top 10.

**The Bad Guy** · 06-17-2013, 08:34 PM

I didn't say pass rusher, I said linebacker.

mcaj22 · 06-17-2013, 08:35 PM

yea you listed a bunch of tweeners that are considered DEs essentially more so than they are linebackers lol

**BossChief** · 06-17-2013, 08:53 PM

Haha

Ok

If all you meant to say was that he is a top 10 middle linebacker, I agree. All I said was let's not get carried away by calling the guy a top ten linebacker in the NFL quite yet.

That's all

If healthy. Bishop is better than Tulloch, Fletcher, Lauranitus, Vilma, Harris, Jackson and Mayo, IMO.

thabear04 · 06-18-2013, 12:32 PM

We will see if Bishop leave without a contract because Thursday he will be in KC.

I'd replace Vilma, Harris, and Tulloch with Washington, Timmons, and Lee.
