Bishop has reached an agreement to sign a one-year contract with the 49ers, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

With Patrick Willis and Chris Borland both retiring, the 49ers are exploring all avenues to address the inside linebacker position. The team still has All-Pro Navorro Bowman (knee) under contract, but Bowman missed all of 2014 in the aftermath of a torn ACL. Bishop, a regular starter for the Packers in 2010 and 2011, has just seven tackles over the last three years. If Bowman is healthy, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Bishop has any kind of IDP relevance. Meanwhile, Michael Wilhoite is still the favorite to start next to Bowman.
