Charles Woodson
Charles Woodson may have played his last down as a member of the Green Bay Packers.
Woodson has had an illustrious NFL career up to this point. After winning the Heisman Trophy and being drafted No. 4 overall in the 1999 NFL Draft, Woodson spent seven seasons in Oakland before signing with the Packers.
The Packers and Woodson agreed to a seven-year, $52-million contract...

I’m starting to worry that we as a nation have simply run out of things to complain about. It’s natural: things are going pretty well but we just don’t know how to flip the switch to “off.” It’s really the only plausible explanation for the outrage directed towards Roger Goodell for his reported near $30 million salary in 2011. Is it a tad excessive? Probably. I’d wager...

GREEN BAY, Wis. Respected veteran players like Charles Woodson can have an impact on NFL teams, even if it's not with their on-field production. It's impossible to quantify the value that it adds, but many players believe it to be true and sometimes that is more than half the battle while the collective group physically and mentally grinds through a challenging season.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wanted the lockout of 2011 to be over so bad, that he cut his own salary, and worked for one single $1 until the lockout was over.
Goodell did such a good job handling the lockout, that the NFL owners more than made up for his cut in salary, giving him a $22.3 million bonus for his hard work.
All told Goodell made $29.5 million in 2011 according to...

Defensive back Charles Woodson helped the Packers win the Super Bowl two years ago
Charles Woodson was due a base salary of $6.5 million with a roster bonus of $2.5 million the first day of training camp, so it was only a matter of time before the Packers either renegotiated the future Hall of Famer’s contract or simply moved on without him. GM Ted Thompson opted for choice No...

NFL owners nearly tripled the commissioner's compensation in the 2011 tax year and likely made Goodell the best paid commissioner in U.S. sports.
According to the league's most recent tax return, much of Goodell's pay comes in the form of a $22.3 million bonus, with his base pay being $3.1 million.
In 2011, the NFL went through a long lockout prior to the season...

Remember when Commissioner Roger Goodell slashed his annual salary to $1 during the NFL lockout in 2011? Apparently, his bosses more than made it up to him. Goodell, who serves at the pleasure of the NFL owners, made $29.5 million in 2011 according to the league’s tax return, most of it courtesy of a $22.3 million bonus. By comparison, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees...

Charles Woodson doesn’t have a football job.
Donald Driver just retired from his.
Greg Jennings is likely headed for a short stay on the unemployment line.
It’s that time of year when you realize there are major differences in the way fans feel about “their” teams and the way it is viewed by those that play for and manage those teams.
Pro football, as they say, is a business...

Even though Super Bowl XLVII wrapped up the 2012-2013 NFL season, there is still plenty of action going on in the league. Granted all of it is happening off the field, yet there has been some activity around the league. Teams are looking at their respective rosters and seeing who is no longer needed. Some of the teams released some heavy hitters while other teams resigned players...
