BREAKING: Green Bay Packers to release 8-Time Pro Bowl CB and Future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson (via @NFL)

Hmm... Is he too old?

37 years old and due $9 million, Packers have alot of needs.

Now the Seahawks want him.

LOL.

What is it with this offseason? Every FA out there the seahawks want. Revis, woodson, Wallace......I'm sure Im missing some. Guess they are the feel good team for the media. I'd be more concerned who CLE wants, they can outbid anyone.

F**king Seahawks

#Packers make Charles Woodson's release official. Ted Thompson: "A once-in-a-generation talent." Looked forward to his HOF induction

Peter King says had St. Louis traded SBradford & drafted RG3 last year...they would have gotten HIGH FIRST round pick back for Bradford. WOW

Roger Goodell made 30 million this past year..........what a joke.

Austin Collie is exactly the type of player I could see Baalke bringing in

I saw that story, was thinking the same thing. But, do we need another WR coming off an injury? Wouldnt Collie want to go back to playing with Manning in Denver? Nothing against Kap, but he knows Peyton and would be very productive in that system.

I have no idea what he wants, all I know is he's exactly the type of low-key workman style signing we always make

I hope we sign him. I like Collie if he's healthy

Dude averages more concusions in a year than games played

NFL lineman busted with loaded pistol at JFKBy PHILIP MESSING and BOB FREDERICKSLast Updated: 5:24 PM, February 18, 2013Posted: 5:16 PM, February 18, 2013A muscle-bound NFL lineman was busted at LaGuardia Airport today for packing a loaded .40 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol.

Da'Quan Bowers - a second-year defensive end for the Tampa bay Buccaneers - was arrested at 11 a.m. at a US Air ticket counter as he was about to board a plane for North Carolina.

Sources believe Bowers arrived in New York with the gun on Friday, and was carrying the piece and a clip with eight rounds in a carry-on bag.

"The two of them were in the same bag, under the law it's considered a loaded gun," the source said.

Bowers, a Tampa resident, was boarding a flight to North Carolina, with his unidentified girlfriend, who lives in Raleigh.

For his career he has 38 tackles and 4.5 quarterback sacks.
