Bishop is 26 and Barnett is 29. He isn't that much younger. He is a lot more inexperienced though. Much more than the age differential.



You really lost me there. Bishop played lights-out for the second best defense in the league, and they won the Super Bowl. How much more experience does he need? And three years is not a big age difference, but all things being equal (which they're not--Bishop is better) it is still significant, especially when you consider Barnett's injury history.

The reason I like Bishop over Barnett is because he brings the wood when he hits. Barnett is just a tackler, and not that textbook solid guy either. Barnett is a better linebacker in a 4-3 defense, and as he grows might need to move to the SAM instead of MIKE.

I just hope we find someone to trade him too. If we keep him, I guess it's good, but I don't feel good about it because he doesn't seem to have the kind of character to accept the backup position. I could be wrong on that, but I don't think I am.

Actually I think they could get 1 year and 1 year only out of him with him being quiet and doing his job what ever it may be. I feel it is important for Barnett to be on the field for the SB and not to simply be handed a ring without him contributing to the win in any way.

I think the question was more on the lines of "if they don't sign Barnett, how much more might the Packers be willing to pay Jenkins than if they do."

I think it's a reasonable question. Though that might be wishful thinking on my part, since I think they should risk overspending on Jenkins anyway.

If they trade Barnett, his salary will go with him, which will mean more money for other players. If they cut Barnett, they may have to pay him anyway, though, depending on how his contract is structured.
