As a Green Bay Packers fan, I had to do a double take when I saw on Twitter that the team released Charles Woodson last Friday. Charles Woodson, arguably the core of their defense, is being released? After some issues with injury and perhaps his age beginning to climb (he is 36 years old), I can see some room for concern. That does not mean I like this decision.
Woodson is hands down my favorite defensive player and I proudly wear his jersey every Sunday. I'm not sure how many more Packers losses of favorite players I can handle. Brett Favre, although not Green Bays fault, was a tough blow. This year Donald Driver, a Packers great, is choosing to retire. And now Woodson, too? So God help me if Jordy Nelson is somehow off the roster in the next five years.
Looks like I'll be in the market for a Nelson jersey this off-season and hope that M.D. Jennings or another player can step up to "replace" Woodson.
