Packers to release Charles Woodson

The Green Bay Packers have informed 36-year-old defensive back Charles Woodson he will be released with two years left on his contract.
NFL.com first reported the move on Friday and it was confirmed by The Associated Press with Carl Poston, Woodson's agent. The team has not commented.
Poston says Woodson is motivated to continue his career with a Super Bowl contender.
Woodson signed a five-year deal before the 2010 season that was worth as much as $55 million. He missed nine games during the 2012 regular season because of a broken right collarbone and played in two postseason games for the Packers.
Woodson was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 and the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1998.
Only player in history to win a Heisman, National Championship, Superbowl, and NFL Defensive Play of the Year. Hope he get onto a contender. Not that Green Bay wasn't, but he should go somewhere warmer. Enjoy the twilight of his career in some nicer weather.

Guess my days of being a "cheese-head" are over  My absolute favorite Wolverine of all-time...wish him success with whichever team he winds up with and, despite the fact that I'm not a huge NFL fan, I will follow & root for whichever team Woodson ends up on. Did read that the Seahawks might be interested but don't know if they're in need of a CB?

I don't think many teams would take him as a corner, at his age his skills are best used at safety

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pats go after him.
