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.
