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.

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
