Raiders safety Charles Woodson to retire after season
“It goes beyond words”.

“2015 is going to be my last season”, Woodson said Monday.
Woodson is one of the most accomplished defensive backs to play the game, ranking fifth all-time with 65 interceptions and tied for first with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper with 13 defensive touchdowns. “Great career, great person, I’m proud to have share these two seasons with him”. His final game will come in Kansas City against the Chiefs.
Woodson announced Monday that he will end his career after the final two games of this season. “It was important for me to let Raider Nation know now”. “I feel very good about the way I performed not only this year but my whole career”. “As I think he said, he’s still doing it. It’s wonderful that he can still really run and in watching the tape, every time the ball is turned over, he is the one ends up with the fumble or an interception it seems like”.
He was the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year for the 2009 NFL season.
Michigan’s third and most recent Heisman Trophy victor was drafted No. 4 overall by the Oakland Raiders in 1998.
The Raiders are coming off a 30-20 loss to the Packers and Woodson said several of his former teammates were asking him about next year. Woodson is an nine-time Pro Bowler, a four-time first-team All Pro selection and a Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010 season. Known for being candid and articulate, Woodson reportedly signed with a television talent agency recently. In an era of self-aggrandizing personalities pervading the realms of football, Woodson always carried himself the way a true sportsman should.
The Raiders will send three players to the 2016 Pro Bowl. He has been playing with an injured shoulder since Week 1 and said in November that all he was hoping for each week was “get me to Sunday”. But given how amazingly well he’s played despite being 39 years old, most Raider fans figured he’d found a way to beat back Father Time and would play forever. Also a James Earl Jones-deep voice and a neat goatee just fit really well into the whole “dang, he rocks” thing. He played college football for MI, where he led the Wolverines to a national championship in 1997. Cobb has had bad games this season, and with this matchup, I would advise for you to sit Cobb. Even though the Cardinals have a great offense, I would start the Green Bay Defense, just for their big-play ability. That’s all you have. “I’ll miss that. I’ll miss that traveling and just taking what’s necessary to get a win”.

Somehow, too, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Woodson make one last heroic play against the Chargers to secure a victory and give his fans a farewell gift.
