Charles Woodson 2 interceptions away from being #5 all-time

I really like seeing him move up the list. He is one of my all time favorite packers. That's a big accomplishment.

He is the only active player on this list. QBs have gotten better at not throwing INTs over the years. Of course, everyone was throwing them then, so they didn't influence results of the games as dramatically as they do now...

Who's the next best active player?

Really one of the most unique players I've seen. Especially in 2009-2010, you didn't know where he was going to line up. Corner, slot, safety, even linebacker sometimes.

I'm sorry we let him walk tbh.

BS Cutler still plays.

It does seem like an relatively uncommon mistake by TT. We've all heard the refrain "it's better to let a player go a year early than a year late" and Woodson certainly seems to be a case of a year (or two) too early. In his last season with the Pack he looked to have lost too much speed and was a liability, but TT and MM underestimated Woodson's ability to re-invent himself.

CHUCK!

I think we let him go because of the repeat collarbone injury. He's been healthy in Oakland though...

He has an outside chance of getting to #3, but he'll never touch Krause or Tunnell...

Woodson doesn't tackle anymore, and I don't blame him. He already hurt his shoulder this year. He just sits deep and cleans up. I think the coaches are asking him to just spy and get INTs.

Riley sure stands out on that list, everyone else in the top 10 is, will be (Woodson and Reed shouldn't have much trouble), or coulda been (Sharper was probably going to make it) in the HOF. Riley probably got jobed because he played for a team that had so little success and got no exposure during his career.

I think money was an issue too. I think it would have cost the Packers in excess of 10 million to keep him. Paying Woodson that kind of money would have hurt the Packers elsewhere.

Right, I'd forgotten about that. $10M is about right, he had signed a 5yr/$55M extension a couple of years before that was pretty much pay as you go.

37 of his 64 interceptions came as a Packer. 27 as a Raider.
