I was kind of surprised to read this. Not that I paid that much attention, but he seemed to be having a respectable year on a clearly ascending franchise...thought he might want to stick it out a little more.

Either way, what a player he was throughout his career. It's hard to imagine the Packers could have won the SB w/o his skills and leadership.

So thankful for his time as a Packer and glad he stuck around to play us as a Raider.

Weird timing for the announcement and I wonder if him playing the Packers and having a chance to say goodbye to the boys mentally put him in the position to walk away from the game?

I guess with Woodson retiring now, should we discuss him getting put into the ring of honor or his number retired? The guy was basically the leader of our defense for a good 5+ seasons and won his DPOTY and SB ring with us. For a few years he and Al Harris were probably one of the better CB duos in Green Bay history. He's definitely a lock for the hall, but I'm interested to see how much he'll get honored in Green Bay.

That said, I don't see Wood's # getting retired. Reggie (and Burt) resuscitated the franchise from decades of flatlining. Wood gave it a jolt of caffeine.

Hell of a player here, and elsewhere. Belongs in the NFL HOF first ballot, but IMO he should just be in the Packer HOF, not have his # retired.

Last night as I watched the pre-game interviews , and hearing Charles Woodson talk about his time as a member of the Green Bay Packers and his time as a Michigan Wolverine, I found myself wishing Charles was still a member of the Green Bay Packers.
Perhaps, if he had retired as a member of the Packers, there would have been a groundswell of fan support to place his name on the ring of honor.

What a great moment. Woodson left it all out there every time. I've been rooting for the Raiders all season. They are kind of like the dark horse of the league and as a metalhead I am attracted to that. I'm going to miss Woodson playing, but it is obvious that his kids have missed him at home even more than we could possibly miss him on the field. Go home Woodson! We love you man!

beast (11m) : Rumors: Steelers and Giants are waiting on Rodgers answer, while Rodgers is waiting on the Vikings answer, Rodgers wants Vikings

beast (1h) : Then maybe they'll be paying you to stop

Zero2Cool (1h) : you really really do not want to see me dance

beast (1h) : Ookay, get up on the pole and start dancing, and I'll try to send people over to give you $1 bills

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm an issue. Throw money at me, I will go away.

beast (2h) : Bears have thrown a lot of money and draft picks at QBs and haven't found one (though maybe they finally have now)

beast (2h) : Throwing money and draft picks at issues don't necessarily fix an issue

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : I keep on hearing pass rush, but it astounds me how much $$ we have invested and draft picks and still don't have one.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Hope we don't avoid someone like Christian Gonzalez which would have been a real gift last season.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : There always seems to be a high draft pick that slips and is there when we pick.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Vikings, per Mike Silver.

Zero2Cool (8h) : You're not gonna go for what your board says? Just straight up positions?

Martha Careful (9h) : my drafts would be OL DL and CB centric. Preferably from power 4 conferences who have started 2+ years

Mucky Tundra (20h) : How much of that is guaranteed?

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : $45m over three years. Yikes.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Seahawks sign Cooper Kupp

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : Colts sign CB Corey Ballentine.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : At least give it some spins in your mocks. Not Martha, she's disqualified, lol

dfosterf (14-Mar) : You have to like Tyliek Williams DL from Ohio State to agree with me on this

dfosterf (14-Mar) : quality dl in the 2nd and quality edge in the 3rd

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Taking Mathew Golden WR in the 1st is consistently working out for me in getting q

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : LB Eric Wilson to Vikings

Zero2Cool (13-Mar) : Hobbs said Jaire reached out and congratulated him.

Martha Careful (13-Mar) : ditto, I wish nothing but the best for AJ Diilan and Josh Myers. and yes dfosterf, you are correct

Mucky Tundra (12-Mar) : Love AJ but it was time to move on. Also, gonna be interesting to see how he does behind Phillys oline

Mucky Tundra (12-Mar) : Josh Myers to the Jets one a one year, 3.5 million dollar deal

dfosterf (12-Mar) : Wish nothing but the best for AJ Dillon!

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Eagles landed AJ Dillon

wpr (12-Mar) : The Packers did not tender restricted free agent John FitzPatrick. The tight end played in nine games after signing with Green Bay

wpr (12-Mar) : The Eagles are signing former Packers running back AJ Dillon, a league source confirms.

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Might be waiting for the right place, or right cash, or both

dhazer (12-Mar) : I can't believe Chubb is still a free agent why wouldnt someone take a chance on him he is a stud with stuff to prove

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : I wanna find it too

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : if they find it, i wanna know how !!

dfosterf (12-Mar) : According to the OTC cap figures, Miami has one minute to find 10.3 million in cap space lol

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : lol nice one

dfosterf (12-Mar) : MVS to the Seahawks. I know Martha is relieved, lol

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Pelissero: Cooper Kupp to be released by the Rams.

dfosterf (12-Mar) : OTC has increased Packers cap room to over 32 mil

Martha Careful (12-Mar) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (12-Mar) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (12-Mar) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.
