Free agents safety Charles Woodson is ‘open’ to the possibility to playing in Detroit and the team could have a very good tandem along with Louis Delmas.
However, as Woodson tours teams, the one who stops posturing will win his services.

He claims to have learned from his adventure and seems to commit to the idea that it won’t happen again. Good enough.
With his Tweets,...
