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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
