Charles Woodson

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

he should have never walked. He should have been planted at safety here. end of story. TT's love affair with being one of the youngest teams has cost this team the past couple years.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised that he had an effective season. He was healthy. If he's healthy he was going to be somewhat effective. a lot more so than any stiff we lined up at safety. He knew the defense. he would have been in the right places and not blowing coverages left and right or missing tackle after tackle.

I understand why they didn't want to pay him 10 million dollars last year, I don't think anyone thinks he's worth that anymore. But after leaving for a year and knowing his best years are behind him, I would think he would prefer to come back here and compete for a title rather then play for a team not going anywhere. Unless TT drafts a safety high or surprises and signs a starting caliber safety in free agency, I would think Woodson would easily be an upgrade over MD Jennings. Factor that in with a much reduced salary plus the respect he has in the locker room and I don't see why not.....

yes, 10 million seems like a lot, especially if we used that money to improve in other areas. but we didn't use the money we saved by cutting him

in fact, we sat on almost that whole 10 million this year

just like you look at the almost 10 million tramon will count against the cap, and the first thought is, "he's probably not worth that." but we don't really need the cap space, and until we do need that space, i see no reason to cut him to just replace him with another rookie, or undrafted rookie and sit again on the cap space we saved

and IMO, a slower, weaker woodson who was less inclined to hit, would have been WAAAAAAYYYYYY better then any of the pieces of complete shit we had playing safety this year

"He's probably not worth that."

There is no "probably", Woodson isn't even worth $5M. I'm not sticking up for the safeties on our current roster, but to even entertain paying an aging, injury-prone safety in the neighborhood of $10M is delusional.

Hear Hear! I love Woodson, but he's done people. Plus: Injury Prone!

Quick question, did you end up killing Woody in a fight to the death?

[bobblehead]

Quicker question, do you dispute everything Woody said, or just some of it?

i found one line very interesting from an article pft did a few days ago

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/24/charles-woodson-wants-to-play-knows-wont-be-in-green-bay/

it talks about woodson wanting to continue playing, but saying its probably not going to be in green bay

here's the line that got my attention

“I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Woodson said. “I definitely plan on playing. But I think the Packers already have plenty of safeties. LOL.”

i took this as being the line green bay told him when they let him go. sorry charles, we can't keep you, we have too many safeties already

and if thats the case, it shows just how poorly green bay judged the talent they had on their roster last off season. it also, imo, shows why we didn't draft a safety last year or go after any free agent help, even though many of us saw it as a position of weakness.

apparently, the team (TT, M3) really did think the answer was burnett, mcmillian, and jennings.. yuck

so just because we think we have obvious needs this year at safety, ILB, DL and TE, doesn't mean management feels that way and will do anything about those spots

The answer may not have been Burnett, McMillian, and Jennings, but it sure as hell wasn't Woodson either.

or

Too often pause to look at the other DB to decide who makes the tackle !

Woodson would have put 'the opponents ass' on the ground.

killing - fight - death.

DRAMA ! DRAMATIC !

mmmm .... a skookum prospect?

Ahh ... no ! Eh !!

woodson, would have been an upgrade over any of our 3 guys this year. even at his advanced age and having an bad year compared to what he had been doing

and from reading more about this, it looks like the packers told woodson he would be cut, and woodson offered to take a pay cut to stay with the team. the team didn't even want to talk, and that's probably where the team told him that they have enough safeties without him.
