  • Bishop wants out?

    Find all the latest Rotoworld fantasy sports news, live coverage, videos, highlights, stats, predictions, and results right here on NBC Sports.


    Packers LB Desmond Bishop said Sunday that he wouldn't mind a trade out of Green Bay before the October 20 deadline.

    Bishop has been underutilized as a No. 4 inside linebacker, but GM Ted Thompson would never give up such a cheap, talented player with special teams value. Bishop will just have to hope for an injury to get on the field.

    Can't say that I blame him. I would think the team is giving him the wink-wink nudge nudge telling him he'll have a shot to start next year since I just don't see Hawk back.

      Disagree entirely. Hawk isn't going anywhere.

        Trading Bishop is a mistake. Hawk is signed thru 2010.

          Provided Bishop's not traded by the Tuesday trade deadline...

          Someone from the LB corp is gonna miss some playing time at some point this year. As long as Bishop is patient he will get his chance.

          It's then up to him to show he belongs on the field.

            He was answering a question about rumors he's on the trading block, not lobbying for a move publicly.

            BTW, Eagles looking for a linebacker, possibly. Compensation mentioned here isn't going to cut it though...

            With the 2009 trade deadline less than 28 hours away, the Eagles could be making a move.
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                most second stringers wouldnt care.
                Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

                    Barnett seemed to play slightly better vs. the Lions. I wanna see him against the Vikes or start thinking Bishop would be an upgrade... that said I wouldn't care if we traded Barnett for value.

                      Barnett appears to have regained confidence. Looks bigger. Worth keeping.

                        Keep Barnett, give rid of Hawk already. Guy is a bust and makes no plays! I think the coaches are finally realizing that as well since Hawk only played like 15 snaps all game.

                            Keep Hawk. Wouldn't at all mind seeing Barnett moved.

                              Hawk can only be considered a bust if you consider his extra high draft position. If we got the guy in the 3rd round we'd say how solid of a player he is. I hope the new CBA has a rigid rookie cap in place. These guys make way too much as 1st rounders without doing a damned thing.
