Charles Woodson

I don't know about that. He would have had a few more big plays. But he was of no help versus Kapernick in the playoffs.

I think he is a pretty mixed bag of problems/highlights right now.

I'm perfectly fine with Woodson ridiculing the Packers. They got smoked big time for lack of competent safety play. At the same time, Woodson's lost a step and he can't come close to where he was. The games I saw, he refused a lot of tackles. He played like a guy who had broken his collarbone twice - and I don't blame him. Hey what is that sound of flowing water I hear? It is the Russian River. Charles, the river is calling you....

Charles Woodson wa on NFL Access today and he talked about the prospects of retiring vs playing another season in the NFL.

He seemed ready/confident to play; plans on playing if he gets something fr. Oakland in terms of a contract he would agree to. I wonder if Charles Woodson would accept the vet minimum without incentive/bonus clauses?

Charles Woodson said that NFL teams "look at a players age", more than proven ability talent/experience /leadership in terms of the bottom line contract offer, That as the player advances in age there's a corresponding decline in the value of the contract that will be offered no matter what positives he has in store for the team. That's 'a fact of life' in Pro Sports it seems to me.

With age comes decline and that's "a fact of life", that's more so emphasized in the NFL. Thye average age of retirement for pro athletes in the major pro Sports is 33 years of age but in the NFL it's at 28 years. There are negatives and retirement from pro Sports.

Here's Charles Woodson and the possibility of being forced to not play again:

"When you get past a certain age, it's no longer about what you do on the field," Woodson said. "It's about your age. They look at the age first and then what you do on the field second. There's no rush for any team to sign a veteran player. It's not just a Raiders situation. It's a league-wide deal." Charles Woodson

Even if Charles Woodson gets that last again one year contract!? He has to be aware of the facts and retirement as a Pro athlete. Aware of very alarming facts and what actions make a transition into "a normal life" easier:

Fuck it. I'd bring him back for a cool mil.

The problem with that is that move provides little for our future.

Next season is a time to assess the team. We need to see TT and MM et all move forward not backward.

GO PACK GO !

The NFL minimum for 10+ is 955,000.

Charles made 3.3 last season, hitting all or most of the incentives in his contract.

I doubt he'd sign for the minimum.

I'd be very surprized if Charles Woodson returned to Green Bay and the 'only way that happens is if TT gets to "a little wild with the money" and that's not likely.
