For a reasonable price, I would have no problem with Woodson. On the other hand, I just don't see how Freeney fits in. He seems to me to be a straight up 4-3 DE. He was a talented guy in his day, but just not someone who would be much of a help to us.

That sounds right to me. And my guess is that Woodson has more left in the tank too.

Here's the thing. Woodson didnt sign because GB wanted to rework his contract and bring him back at a lower number. I think he believes he will get paid on the open market, and bet he will. I just hope it isnt us. We can find a starter in this years draft for safety and or CB. This is a deep defensive draft. Freeney does not fit at all. I would rather have Brace than freeney. Freeney is a straight up 43 DE.

If we ran a 43, sure. But we don't.

As to Woodson, I agree with your assessment as to why he left. Not sure he is going to get paid. If he hangs around for a bit and is looking for a home at a reasonable short term price, I would be happy to have him here. Don't think it is going to happen or that it should even be a priority. From everything I am reading, the draft is deep at the safety position.

I'm normally against this type of signing but I wouldn't mind Woodson coming here at all, just as long as we draft a guy that's waiting in the wings. He'd be a perfect short term solution at safety.
