Mentally it’s not there – Woodson explains retirement decision
There is no lease for the coming season, and the Raiders are one of three teams along with San Diego and St. Louis who are looking for escapes from their current situation.

The 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year spent the first eight years of his career with the Raiders before moving to Green Bay as a free agent.
But the Chargers can’t get caught up in all that.
Peyton Manning, a senior quarterback at Tennessee in 1997.
However, with the intense rivalry that exists between the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, don’t expect either squad to hold anything back when they meet on the gridiron in this contest. Hell, before Raider Nation could say Silver & Black Oakland was down by two touchdowns!!
In recent games, Carr has had an interception problem.
It is still a rivalry game, but I just think Oakland comes out in better form.
“From the outside a lot of people said the AFC West wasn’t very good; shoot, we won it at 8-8 (in 2008)”.
Then the Chargers will head to Denver, putting a bow on what’s been a season that feels like a lump of coal.
“Making the Pro Bowl is something that I’ve thought about”. We don’t see the offense-defense mix as much as we used to in recent years, although J.J. Watt flourished for a short while last season as something of a touchdown catching tight end.
Oakland also dominated on the ground, rushing for 130 yards on 5.0 yards per carry. That previous meeting also exposed the Chargers woeful running game, ranked last in the National Football League, as their leading rusher picked up just 35 yards.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Oakland’s last 8 games when playing at home against San Diego. The Raiders down by one, at this point would force the Packers into a 4th & two situation, with the ball at the Raider 42 yard line. Left tackle King Dunlap has been ruled out once again with an ankle injury, leaving quarterback Philip Rivers without his blind side protector for the eighth time this season. And overall on Thursday nights, Rivers is 4-2. Woodson helped lead the Pack to a victory in Super Bowl 45 over the Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as multiple other playoff appearances. You take it, you go on the road and you’re going in there into someone else’s stadium trying to win a game at their home. The second-year pro has 6.5 sacks, which trails only Melvin Ingram (eight) among Chargers.
“That was definitely a defining moment of who we [were] as a football team: that we had a brotherhood like that”, Jason Hatcher said. “I never intended on playing as long as I have, but this is the way it’s happened and I’m grateful for it”.
“For me, it’s going to be sad just for myself”, Woodson said. Don’t get me wrong, I like D. Carr. Butler, who began the year as the starter opposite Manti Te’o, has lost his spot to rookie Denzel Perryman.

“We’d put him out there in a game and the crowd would go insane, and it made it hard for us to call the plays, the checks and the cadence”, Gannon said. “He has been a pleasure to coach and he truly is a Raider great”. Everyone in the Oakland organization is determined to honor Woodson on Thursday.
