Wow, Oakland Woodson to a another contract. He'll turn 39 during the season, does anyone know if a safety or CB has ever played until that age?

I'm surprised they didn't just offer him a coaching position, have to think that's what they're looking to him for...

Darrell Green played into his 40s, if I remember right. The guy lost 2 gears...and was still faster than 80% of the CBs in the league.

Green - good one, forgot about him. All I could think of was QBs, DeBerg, Moon, Flutie. There was also Jerry Rice.

If Woodson loses another gear he will be a guard.

Or A.J. Hawk.

He would still be a better ILB than Brad Jones.

Green played until he was 42.
Lots of QBs and kickers/punters.

I wouldn't go to that extreme.

And Bruce and Clay Mathews.

Willie could probably give the Silver and Black a couple snaps.

He looks in decent shape.

Willie is 74.

Those two guys know every trick in the book.
