Boo hiss. He was the only reason I ever kind of rooted for you, Green Bay.

Why are you joking?
He'd be the best DB the Lions have. I'd absolutely sign Woodson to a 2-year deal and let him finish his career in Detroit.
I'd still draft Dee Milliner and let Chuck tutor him for a couple of years.

UM great, but he's getting old, and has been injured a lot the last couple years. He isn't worth the cap hit anymore, so this release makes sense for Green Bay.

As a Packers fan, this makes all the sense in the world from a salary cap perspective. He's an all-time favorite of mine, but he's slowed down a bit. Glad to see the last two Michigan Heisman winners go on and get a Super Bowl ring with the Packers.

Old, injured
Who cares, despite his age and recent injury history, he still has a better chance to staty healthy than Delmas. I couldn't even tell you who our other safety is.

It's not all bad, now I don't have to root for the Packers like the OP.
HAIL.
Agreed!
I'm a huge Bears fan so when they would play the Packers it would be hard for me to root against him and at least hope that he played well. Now I can go back to just completely hating the Packers. Hopefully he'll find himself a good situation where he can finish out his career.

My Bucs are in dire need of a corner and some veteran leadership. Make some moves, Schiano.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Yeah, Schiano
Yeah, Schiano...make some moves! TB needs Woodson (36 yrs. old), playing next to Ronde Barber (37 yrs. old), because they need leadership...? However, I could see a team like New England going after a vet like CW.

I wish the Redskins would pick him up,but his agent and Dan Snyder don't get along that well.

I would love for the Lions to pick him up, but do they have the cap space? Salary cap is the single biggest issue the Lions are facing as they try to revamp their personnel, and Woodson was just released specifically because he was too expensive for the Packers.
I hope he goes to The Pats
I hope he goes to The Pats and him and Brady win another Super Bowl.
"Are you an official here?Because you've officially given me a boner."
Now that's...
...a Super Bowl that I'd actually be willing to watch. Normally, the endless hype, overabundance of commercials, and lengthy song-n-dance baloney makes it the only football game that I avoid.
As a Packers fan I thank him for everything
he's done in our secondary. I'll miss him greatly but that frees up a lot of cap space for us to go out and look for better defensive players. We need to get rid of Hawk also. Packers need another guy like Matthews and a running back desperately.
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

Agreed, Hawk has to go. DJ
Agreed, Hawk has to go. DJ Smith and Bishop can hold down the middle. It will be ineresting to see what Nick Perry can do next year as well.
Most of their cap space is going to go toward Matthews, Rodgers, and Raji.
I'd love to see them get a solid OL.

Wish Lacy wasn't a 1st or 2nd round pick
ugh we could use that speed in our running game so bad as for Hawk I wouldn't mind seeing Jared Allen with our defense. A lot of intensity and I could honestly care less if he played for the Vikes. Hes quicker and faster than Hawk.

I wouldn't mind bringing Allen in for pass rush downs, but why are you comparing him to Hawk? Totally different positions.
I don't want to see a high pick for a RB. They need another safety back there with Burnett and offensive line help. I'd like to see them bring Finley back as well. Will be interesting to see how Perry and Worthy come back from injury (Sherrod as well too). On defense you are talking about getting 3 starting LB's back and a starting DL.

Nick Perry has the potential to be another guy "like Mathews". That injury along with the other ones at linebacker killed the Packers this year.

I was worried this might happen. Going to the Packers was huge for Woodson's career. Hope he ends up somewhere where he can make a big difference like...not Oakland.
