Find it odd that Fox Denver is reporting the story.. but not even a whiff around GB or Milwaukee...

Report: Packers, Woodson discussing new contract 
Posted by Evan Silva on June 8, 2010 12:51 PM ET
Packers All-Pro cornerback Charles Woodson won the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year award in decisive fashion, doubling the votes of second-place finisher Darrelle Revis. Woodson helped Green Bay rank fifth in the league in regular season pass defense, tied for the NFL lead with nine interceptions, and returned three of them for touchdowns.

Woodson, however, is under contract through 2012 and entering his age-34 season. We were thus surprised to see a report from Josina Anderson of FOX 31 Denver that the Packers and Woodson are currently in negotiations about a new contract.

Anderson's report, limited by the 140-character restriction on Twitter, seemed to indicate that the Packers are amenable to the deal by claiming Woodson "is in talks (for a) new contract."

Considering Packers G.M. Ted Thompson's history of preferring youngsters to aging veterans, it seems likely that Woodson's camp -- and Woodson's camp only -- is pushing for the new deal. We have a hard time believing Thompson will budge, with Woodson set to make $7.5 million in 2010, and base salaries of $5.5 million and $6.5 million in his age-35 and 36 seasons, respectively.

In a follow-up tweet, Anderson acknowledges that "age is a point of contention" in deliberations. In terms of leverage, Woodson does have outstanding performance and fellow cornerback Al Harris' "very rare injury" working in his favor.

The Packers are also thin at Woodson's position, with promising reserve Brandon Underwood in legal hot water, No. 3 corner Tramon Williams in a contract year, Will Blackmon moving to safety, and former second-round pick Patrick Lee having hardly played.

If Woodson isn't happy with his contract, you let him sit out the season. Or let him go. You don't up that contract even more. He's been paid enough by hitting incentives. He's just too old to give him even more.

The only restructuring I can see happening is that they make the deal longer. Add some more years in which he gets paid pretty decently, but that would work favorably if we're going to cut him. Which will undoubtedly happen within the next couple of years.

Extend a year or two, pay him decently and see what happens. He is the freakish athlete...like Rod Woodson, perhaps....who could play 3 or 4 more years....at some point shifting to safety if need be.

1. I call BS
2. If it is true, it's good timing with Al Harris' career being over(not technically, but...you'll see) and Underwood's drama.

Charles Woodson says he hasn't asked for a new contract 
Posted by Mike Florio on June 10, 2010 8:00 PM ET

On Tuesday, Josina Anderson of FOX 31 in Denver seemed to report that the Packers and cornerback Charles Woodson are negotiating a new contract.

Woodson has responded.

The 2009 NFL defensive player of the year told ESPNMilwaukee.com via text, "I don't know any Josina, and I haven't discussed anything with the Packers."

Woodson, 34, has three year left on his current deal. Per ESPNMilwaukee.com, he's due to earn $7.5 million in 2010. His base salary for 2011 moves to $5.5 million. The following season, he completes his commitment with $6.5 million in base pay.

It's unknown whether Woodson would like to discuss anything with the Packers. Or, for that matter, get to know any Josina.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
