Better name for the the thread may be Woodson Released? Buncha Twitter talk...stay tuned...
Aaron Nagler @Aaron_Nagler Woodson represented $9 million in cap space in 2013. If he has indeed been released, it makes sense. Not the player he was. Not worth that.
@RobDemovsky
And @RapSheet strikes 1st, getting Woodson's agent, Carl Poston, to say: "They're getting ready to release him. It's part of the business."

Future hall of famer. Sad to see him go if true. It WAS a great run and he got the ring he wanted.
Dave Sinykin @TCHeadCheese Sounds like Woodson will be released soon. Thompson's best free agent signing ever. Might be time to find another FA gem on D.
It will be interesting to see if they re-sign him. Clearly this was a move to get his bloated cap number off the books, but I can't imagine him going somewhere else at his age. His best days as a CB are behind him so no one will sign him to a lot of money to do that and he hasn't truly played Safety before so no one will give him big money for that. GB could represent the best deal both in terms of playing time and financially.
Makes sense. No way that we can pay him. let him see if anyone else is interested & then if not, resign him at a much reduced rate?
That is a possibility I considered as well GD.
That's what they did with James Jones. Some players only have value to the previous team.
Can't say I'm too surprised. Hopefully he is back on a cheaper deal
I don't think they did a cut and resign with Jones, he was a RFA I believe. They did do a cut and resign with Hawk. But that was an 11th hour deal, which makes the cutting of Woodson at this time a bit different and I'd think an indication that they are not looking to bring him back.
So Wooody is 37 and would be OK to sign but pass rusher guy from Dallas can't even be discussed?
I expect Hawk to be next in line to join Woodson
Swing and a miss 
Who said no to Spencer but then said yes to Woodson?

I agree with H5: "an indication that they are not looking to bring him back"
you can't tell me this is one of those times when someone calls the agent to say we're no longer interested in your client goodbye. they had a powwow and are moving on. Thanks for EVERYTHING Cwood - you da man! Enjoyed watching ya.

A couple have discussed bring woody back and many have discussed that pass rusher guy is already too old and too expensive.
your conclusion is stupid
Amazing player. By far, TT's and aside from Reggie White, arguably GB's 2nd best FA signing ever.
Unfortunately for Woodson GB won a fair amount of games without him. It's a young mans game. And Woody just wasn't the same player anymore.

It's time to make some changes, especially on D. Woody was a stud but GB has drafted themselves into a position to release his huge salary and move forward.

Different posters on each side of those two positions. You're trying to stir up non-existent schit. Just stop.
You might as well tell him to stop breathing. Wait...
Yep, Woodson was an integral part of one of the great post-Lombardi eras the Pack has had. From 2007 - 2012, 5 double digit win seasons, 3 NFC North Titles, 2 NFC Championship appearances, 1 Super Bowl win.
During those years, in my opinion, he cemented himself into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame once he finally hangs them up. Just an incredible player to have picked up off the scrap heap.
Who knows, maybe we'll still see Woodson back, but his days of being a dominant type player look to be over. He looked pretty ordinary last year.

Can't say I'm surprised, but thought they might work a restructure, and for all we know they tried and he said no. Either way, he was a great Packer, thanks for the memories and "ONE GOAL, ONE HEARTBEAT, ONE PURPOSE"!!!!
Is this being done to free up money for Jennings? Is Finley now safe too? Is TT also going to cut A.J. and go after a big name FA inside linebacker? Stay tuned.
@adbrandt
Remember how hard it was to sign Charles, even with only other suitor TB for much less $. I sounded like GB Chamber of Commerce!
@adbrandt
Remember first minicamp practice when Woodson arrived: different level of player. Elite athlete, WRs locked down as never before.
@adbrandt
Woodson had some initial clashes with structure in GB but worked through them and became trusted leader. Presence will be missed.
@adbrandt
Woodson release part of philosophy in GB: draft and develop, create pipeline of talent, don't be afraid to play young players.
6'1" 200lb warrior. Not the same player but his leadership is going to be missed.

Great warrior! Love that moment
I don't doubt that his breaking his collar bone twice in two years played a part in this decision. Plus the other nicks and stuff; he's showing his age and the probability that he can't stay healthy for a season. Woodson was great, and maybe they bring him back at a lower rate and a reduced role, but his best days are behind him. It will be interesting to see if anyone picks him up.
DPOY, punched his ticket to Canton and a SB. It was a great run for a great Packer but that's the nature of the business. I thought they might bring him back at a reduced salary, but that appears pretty unlikely.
Best of luck to him and I look forward to seeing his name in the ring at Lambeau.

Makes sense. It will be interesting to see how much house cleaning gets done.
Thanks Chuck! I thought it was a bad move to sign a injured FA, I was wrong. One of a kind talent.
