Charles Woodson signs 1-year extension with Raiders
Per Adam Schefter:
Mr. Woodson just signed a 1-year extension with the Raiders. Excellent news for possibly the greatest player to ever wear the Maize and Blue.
Also, still the ONLY defensive player to win the Heisman.

Good for him, bad for us as it will be 1 year longer before he comes to be the DB coach.

That picture was taken directly in front of me. I had increadibly shitty seats for the game with the exception of that play and and Streets TD catch (although was in the other corner of the end zone) this one play was amazing and changed the entire course of the game.
Lucky for us Mallet didn't know Sir Charles could levitate and thought he could throw over him. Having the ability to defy gravity through the sheer force of his will sure came in handy that time.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
Mallet? You're thinking of the original head case quarterback named Ryan.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
There is a reason he's mGrowOld.
January 26th, 2015 at 5:04 PM ^
Good lord.
That's TWICE today I've screwed something up so now I owe Mallet an apology too for mixing up Ryan Leaf with Ryan Mallet.
Mods - can we create a "I'm sorry" open thread? Put me down for two please.
January 26th, 2015 at 5:09 PM ^
The super creepy Ryan Leaf?
January 26th, 2015 at 4:24 PM ^
I hate endzone seats at the Rosebowl. Also, not Mallet, it was Forcier.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:26 PM ^
Woodson read Leaf's eyes. Woodson was all the way across the endzone, but he broke on the ball HARD well before Leaf even released it because Leaf was staring his receiver down. Then of course he used his magical Woodson skills to pick the ball off. Unbelievable play.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:26 PM ^
a mere 9 or 10.
Sorry, had to yank the chain.

How does a human jump that high?
January 26th, 2015 at 8:19 PM ^
I'm one of those six ant-sized bodies standing near the GTE billboard in the other endzone.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:04 PM ^
BLUE KNOW IT!
January 26th, 2015 at 4:05 PM ^
Oakland is apparently very much in play.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
All hail The Wood!
One of the best all-around athletes I've ever watched play--
And he ages like a fine wine. I don't know how he does it, but I sure enjoy watching.

Was coming to post exactly this but you beat we to it!
May you have all the upvotes!

I'll toast to that.

I'm with you.
This man was a HUGE reason I chose to attend/play at Michigan. A legend in every sense of the word.

It's one thing to be able to keep playing as you march into your 40s at a position like kicker or even QB. But as a DB? That's just absurd what he is able to do.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:12 PM ^
Has Peyton one-upped for next year? For reasons meaningless beyond superficial satisfaction, I'd like Charles to outlast Peyton in the NFL. If only by one day.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
One-upped? What does that mean?
January 26th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
Wrong word choice, but can you really not figure out what he meant?
January 26th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
On hand was Willie Brown too....
January 26th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
I be like whoa. That dude just won't quit. I love it.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
had to have been written about Charles. After all those years, he is still at the top of his game. Amaizing!
Even though CW signed only a 1-year extension, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him play well past next season. As it is, I remember reading a quote from him about a month or so ago where he pretty much stated retirement is a long way off.

Woodson can still play at this high a level. Just shows you what kind of shape he is in. Wow.
January 26th, 2015 at 5:47 PM ^
The man deserves a statue. As does Harmon, as does AC.
Get rid of those stupid patches...
Build a monument park, an outdoor museum at the stadium.
Inside of this park, statues of all of the formerly retired numbers...plus Woodson this year. AC next year. Desmond the following year. And Jake the year after that.
Also should be plaques honoring great teams. Great players that aren't quite statue level, but awesome in their own right. A wall of All-Americans. Coaches. History.
Have a cool "exhibit" of fan favorite moments like Woodson's catch vs. MSU, The Pose, and also moments like UTL1 and UTL2. Bo's first win over OSU. A place to relive the experience.
Walk into a giant Michigan helmet to experience a video element with a loop of great plays on the inside.
PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Be a LEADER and a trendsetter! Make it cool, make it fun, make it corny, but do it up and do it right.
Many people only visit Michigan Stadium every now and again, this would be an awesome feature to better the gameday experience. Or not even the gameday experience because many folks would come by on the holidays during the offseason just to check it out. It would be awesome if you could visit 365 days a year.

He already has one.
January 26th, 2015 at 6:09 PM ^
He's going to be that guy who plays forever. He will be like 44 and still in the NFL.
January 26th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Chasing only Daryll Green for most years in league.

Gotta get paid. Congrats Charles
January 26th, 2015 at 7:27 PM ^
Who will play longer, Brady or Woodson?
