Linebacker Desmond Bishop Released

Rumor had it the Packers were shopping Desmond Bishop around - apparently no one was in the shopping mode and Desmond Bishop was released!

Desmond was injured all last season - hamstring injury.  Brad Jones became the starter and apparently the Pack is satisfied with his abilities!

And it almost always comes down to money$$$$$$$$$.  Here is the breakdown for last years starters and Bishop:

AJ Hawk - $5.2 million
Brad Jones $2.5 million
Desmond Bishop - $4.744 million

So, look like the Packers are going to move around some money!

Bishop was drafted in the 6th round of the 2007 draft.  Played in 69 games with 26 starts in 6 seasons.

So, the Packers roster is down to 89 & Desmond Bishop is looking for a job

Good Luck Desmond Bishop!!
