Brett Favre wanted the Packers to make some moves in free agency before he made a decision to come back. One day after Favre informed Green Bay he was returning, the Packers made their most significant free agent pickup this year.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Packers have agreed to terms on a seven-year deal in the $45 million range for Raiders Pro Bowl defensive back Charles Woodson. Woodson, however, has not yet signed the deal. The deal also includes a total of $10.5 million in the first year, between salary and bonuses. The deal is also likely structured much in the way LaVar Arrington's incentives-laden deal was with the Giants.
Woodson had been talking to the Bucs about joining their secondary, likely as a safety, but opted for the money that the Packers were offering instead. Woodson played in just six games last year before injury cut his season short. He has 17 career interceptions but in the last five years has only had one season with more than one pick.

Woodson ended the 2004 season on IR with a hip injury and then last year broke his leg on October 25 in a win over the Bills.

As Oakland's franchise player last year the former Heisman Trophy winner earned more than $10 million in salary a year ago.

A couple of years ago this would have been huge, but this is popoular mainly becuase of his name, not his skills. It's almost dejavu with ty law signing with the jets last season.

Woodson has missed too many games in the past few years. Good signing if he stays healthy but not good if he gets injured.

Big contract he needs to produce.

Charels Woodson Sucks in my opinion maybe he can get some that Lamboue Field Magic to Get his Career going again. so far Woodson has been overrated.
