NFL Free Agency Rumors and Transactions

After playing with the Raiders for one season, Charles Woodson could be ready to retire this offseason.

Woodson signed with the Raiders last offseason and played both safety spots for them last year after playing cornerback for the majority of his career. He finished with 97 tackles, two sacks, an interception, three forced fumbles and two fumbles recoveries, one of which was returned for a 25-yard touchdown. It was his 13th career defensive score, tying him with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper for most in NFL history.
