REPORT: GIANTS SHOWING INTEREST IN DB CHARLES WOODSON - Free agent defensive back Charles Woodson left Denver Wednesday without a contract. But he is getting interest from another Manning-led team.
Josina Anderson of ESPN reports the New York Giants “have just put their toe in the water again” in regards to signing Woodson. The Giants did have Woodson on their radar when he first hit the free agent market.
The Giants could definitely use the versatile Woodson in their defensive backfield. At 37, he would just be a role player, but with his ability to cover multiple positions, Woodson could see plenty of action in the Giants three-safety system.
The Oakland Raiders are still the best option for Woodson. He has back tracked on his Super Bowl comments, saying he would consider signing with a team in a rebuilding year. He began his career in Oakland and they fit the bill of rebuilding. While he has not taken an official visit out to the Raiders, the team does have a deal on the table for Woodson. The size of the contract is unknown, but both parties have mutual interest. His career could end in the exact place it began.
If Woodson continues to remain patient a contract will come. As of now, the Giants, Raiders and some interest from the Carolina Panthers are all swirling around him. A contract is likely to come soon.
