Heisman Trophy[edit]

Article states Woodsman is - the most recent player to win the Heisman who was not either a running back or quarterback. This is no longer correct as a wide receiver has just won the Heisman Trophy (DeVonta Smith) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:485:DA01:C2B:2245:BE77:4D63 (talk) 01:19, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Franchise designation[edit]

The article states that CW twice agreed to be designated the franchise player by the Raiders. This is an oxymoron. Teams designate franchise players after the end of a contract & before the start of free agency when the 2 parties are unable to agree upon the terms of a new contract. The player then has the choice of playing for 1 year at the average of the 5 highest paid players at their position or not playing - and not getting paid - that season. If there was an agreement between the Raiders & CW, the franchise "tag" would have been removed. The substance of the negotiations between the Raiders & CW are not public knowledge & would probably be reported differently by the 2 parties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hooded swan (talk • contribs) 02:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Contract extension[edit]

Information added regarding Woodson's contract extension signed September 9, 2010, with citation. It also states that the contract's intention is to ensure he retires as a Green Bay Packer, and this IS a valid statement, however I do not know if it belongs on wikipedia. 173.216.200.145 (talk) 15:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

Defensive back in lead[edit]

There's been churn in the lead sentence over mentioning that he's a defensive back.[1] He played cornerback for most of his career, moving to safety in his last few seasons. It seems a reasonable generic description to have "defensive back" in the lead sentence, while the rest of the lead can detail the multiple positions. —Bagumba (talk) 07:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, the old version of the article's first sentence reads better thhan the current's first sentence. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 08:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9: The current version reads: "was a defensive back". The old (reverted) version had "was a cornerback and safety" in the lead sentence. To be clear, did you prefer w/ DB or not?—Bagumba (talk) 08:15, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
