Talk:Charles Woodson

Heisman Trophy
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)

Franchise designation
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)

Contract extension
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)

Family

Defensive back in lead
There's been churn in the lead sentence over mentioning that he's a defensive back. 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)


 * 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)
 * @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)
