Woodson wants to play for a contender.  He's not looking for the biggest paycheck at this point in his career.  The Lions have almost no chance of signing him.

That said, I hope they figure out a way to snake oil him!

As a Lions fan living in Wisconsin, I will not miss feeling all warm and tingly seeing him on the field in a green and gold uniform.   I hated that feeling.   I just couldn't cheer against Woodson. 

I think Mott Children's Hospital has a fundraising job open for him if he's interested in not playing football again.

Good, now I don't have to watch Packers games anymore. I watch the Packers  because my dog loves the Packers because his name is Charles Woodson. He loves to hear his name. He gets excited.

Charles Woodson should go to Denver and get the locker right next to Peyton Manning, so he can display his Heisman Trophy for Peyton to see every day ater practice.

My favorite player, and will continue to be my favorite player with my newly crowned second favorite team.  From the Heisman run in '96 to being the emotional force behind the SB run in 2010, he's been at the center of my relationship with football my whole life.  Plus I've volunteered with him, seen him endow a scholarship and fund a hospital.  Perhaps the whole Michigan Man thing is overused, but Chuck is the ultimate Michigan Man.

All that having been said, as a Packers fan and sharholder this may well have been for the best as a business decision.  That's a pretty huge cap hit for a man pushing 37.

The Browns desperately need a DB. Woodson would fit in nicely and save them the need of drafting one this year. I can see it now, Woodson returns to Ohio and roams the secondary with Joe Haden. I'm getting ready eyed just thinking about it.

How many guys have done this?

  • Heisman
  • College National Championship
  • NFL MVP (or Defensive MVP)
  • Super Bowl Champ

Can't be a big number...he will, of course, add NFL HOF to that list before too long.  My guess is that less than 10 guys have pulled this off.

EDIT: Did a quick look...is Woodson the only guy to pull this off?  He might be...

I love the guy more than words can express... Watching him grow from a cocky young guy to a model pro and stand up citizen I have grown to respect him so much. All that said, he'll never play a whole season again. This is not a game for aging guys and he is, what... 36?

I'll root for him if he moves to another team, but let's be honest, the end is near.

I'll always love Charles Woodson, a guy who made me feel proud in 1997 to be a MICHIGAN WOLVERINE and someone I can always point to as being representative of the best of the best of what we have to offer.

Woodson may have the body of a 25yr old athlete but his agility an speed shows his age...at 37yr old his career unfortunatly is coming to an end, one of the greatest corner and def a hall of fame..i am glad he won a super bowl and has something to show for...i say come to the lions for a yr, we could use his wisdom on the secondary
